  1. I am doing some cleaning up for the first time since my wife passed. I guess you could say I was in a bad place for a year or more after she passed.
    I have some letters, pictures, death certificates, POW documents for some of the family. I think I have a copy of Edna’s application for pension benefits from Sanford Kelly’s service in the Confederate military. If you would like them or a copy, I can probably scan them and send them to you.
    I have letters (emails) from one of Sanford Kelly Graham’s granddaughters who sent me a number of emails with family details given verbally to her from one of Sanford Kelly’s daughters. She sat with her and wrote down all the info she was given. Her name was Lucille. Without looking, I want to say the daughter’s name was Donna, but I may be wrong on the name. I know the daughter never married.
    Some of the info I have from various family members goes into the 2000’s.
    I also received letters and pictures from different family members of their families and their history. I am not sure if you are aware of CMT disease which is a hereditary disease that runs in part of the Graham family.
    Anyway, if you would like the info I have for your records, let me know.
    I always liked to get as much detail as possible from actual living family members. I had one of the family members of Sanford Kelly tell me they were forced to register as Indians when she was a little girl in Philadelphia, Mississippi. She remembered the trip to do so.
