I’m glad that I wandered upon your blog…it’s wonderful to read about people that I’ve heard about most of my life (I live in Nashville myself). As a musician I really appreciate this post. I’ve downloaded the song and will play it during my online broadcast later this week. Your site has been bookmarked for sure.

I discovered this site a few months ago when I ran across an article you posted on Dec. 17, 2006 on my great-grandparents wedding titled Kelly-Winfrey, taken from the Nashville Globe: July 5, 1907. My daughter and I have compiled a great deal of information on the family of John H. Kelly Jr, but little is know about him and his life in Nashville while working for the National Baptist Publishing Company in Nashville, TN. He died very young at age 30 of Nephritis. We hope that you are able share or lead us to any information that you may have on him, or his father Prof. John H. Kelly of Columbia, TN. I also have a photograph of Prof. Kelly and his wife accompanied by Prof. R.G. Johnson, his son, and a man that is believed to be Dr. J.P. Crawford. Hopefully you can help identify this man. The posting of the Kelly-Winfrey wedding was one of our major finds throughout our research. The fascinating discovery brought tears to our eyes.

Much love and thanks for your dedication and the preservation of our Afro American History.
