	Kelsey house in Monterey Indiana. Built 1921-1922 for $14,000. Comments by Charles Kelsey:  Roller skating rink in basement.  4 bedrooms and large bathroom upstairs.  2 bedrooms and a bath on ground floor.  4 walk-in closets - no one had many clothes.  Large cistern under basement floor.  Washed hair and did laundry with water from cistern because it was soft water.  Didn't have nice moisturizing soaps at the time.  Mary Hellen (Kennerk) & Charles Kelsey set up housekeeping here when married - January 7, 1940.
	Charles in ROTC, 225 Sylvia St. W. Lafeyette, Ind. 1934. Charles had to rent the ROTC uniform for 15$ per year.  Had to buy the boots.  Only had 1 uniform and wore it 5 days a week.

	Kelseys in Marion Kansas.  Dr. William Kelsey bought 240 acres outside of Marion Kansas and sent his brother, Enos, out to farm it.  That was was where Charles's Great Grandfather  Kelsey is buried,  He went to live with Enos in his last days. Notes from SJT - Jonas Kelsey was the great grandfather of Charles.  Jonas has 2 wives, Dr William E. was from the 1st with Sara Elder.  There was a Enos from the second marraige, which was to Martha Auld.  This Enos is buried in Marion Co. KS, and should not be confused with his grandfather, Enos, the father of Jonas.
