This Kelsay line below is mine.
Harman should be Harmon.
He and Nancy Louise Swanson are buried on property near their then farm between Eldon and Tuscumbia.It is a small, fenced area in the back of a pasture.
You also did not list a couple of children.I do not have their birth and death dates, but you might add them in to your material and I will try and find the information for you later.
Clara was a twin to Clarence.You left off Clarence.Clara died young and Clarence died older.I believe he may have moved to Kansas or Nebraska to farm and died there.Let me check this out.
You also forgot the second set of twins: Laura (female) and Lora B. Kelsay(Male).
Lora was my great-grandfather.He married Sara A. Conner.They farmed near Rocky Mount area (Eldon).
Laura, his twin sister, lived to her twenties and died.She had 2 husbands.I think the first one died and she remarried and then she died.
There was one other daughter, Hattie I think, and that is who Harmon and Nancy Louise stayed with in Kansas before their deaths.She was their youngest child and only surviving daughter.
Lora B. and Sara A. Conner Kelsay had a whole batch of children, too: Margorie, Ellen, Gladys, Alma, Lois, Leland, Kenneth, and Mildred "Pauline".Today, only Lois and Pauline are living.
Each of these children of Lora B. Kelsay had oodles of thier own kids...etc.I descend from Ellen through her daughter, Sarah.
