  • Notes 
    • LKH note:
      Kelly is in the 1900 census in Crawford, Breathitt County, Kentucky. He is listed as Kelly Moore, age 6, step-son of Robert Moore.

      I've been unable to find any record of him after the 1900 census.

    • LKH note:
      In the newspaper article reporting Porter Chamber's death from spotted fever, it states that his brother died of the same disease back home.

      That, plus the fact that Kelly does not appear in any records after the 1910 census, leads me to conclude that he and his brother, Porter, both died in 1908.

      The first death at the hospital in some months occurred Monday, when Porter Chambers, of Athol, Breathitt County, died there from cerebro-spinal meningitis, or spotted fever. Brain troubles have been common in his family. His brother died of the same disease back home, and his father has had trouble. Besides, he got a bad blow on the head a few years ago, and that may have helped bring on the disease. His mother was down, and took the body home with her.
