He was treated with nitrate of silver and has now a very dark bluish color of skin as a result of treatment.”—C.B. Tompkins, M.D. 1883. “We called him ‘Blue Kelly.”—William Parkinson, 1888. “Since the death of Zachariah, the farm has had to be rented, netting a small amount annually and that this and small amount earned by H. P. Kelly as a veterinary doctor and by Mary Kelly’s knitting has been the means of support since Zachariah died.”—James Jones, 1888 When questioned about how much income the farm produced, Mary replied, “I know we didn’t get very much. It was mighty hard scratching. There was very little left after we paid the taxes. I tell you we all had to scratch. I shucked corn and helped stack hay, wheat and ___ it in. I did all kinds of work about the farm except plow. I didn’t chop wood in the woods but I did at the wood pile. I had only one son then to help me and he wasn’t able to do anything. My children were small and my husband wasn’t able to do much work. We lived on the farm till the spring of ’72 . . . we were not able to run the farm any longer so we concluded to rent it and we moved to Ipava. We didn’t make anything on the farm and some years we came out behind…we rented the farm to my son, John Kelly”—Mary Kelly 1888. 29
