(This information is listed under Joseph A. Kelly.)
(Joseph Kelly married Maria Elizabeth Hendricks –
the
following is about her family.)
The marriage of Mr. Kelly, in Joliet,
united him with Miss Maria Elizabeth Hendricks, who was born in Rockford, Ill.,
but was
reared in Joliet. She was one of a family of seven, the eldest
of whom, Miles, was killed by the Indians when crossing the plains to California in
1849; D.
P., ex-city attorney of Joliet, is now engaged in the practice of law
in
Chicago; Thomas A., formerly a druggist and hospital steward of Company
D.,
Ninetieth Illinois Infantry, during the Civil war, is now a farmer in
Oklahoma;
J. C. is an attorney in Chicago; and B. L. also resides in that city;
Margaret,
Mrs. Nugent, is a resident of Chicago; and Maria E., Mrs. Kelly,
completes the
family circle. Her father, Thomas
Hendricks, was a contractor and builder and came from New York state to Illinois
in 1843. Her mother, Margaret, daughter
of Daniel Quigley, was born in Athlone,
Ireland, in
December, 1817, and crossed the
ocean in 1834, afterward marrying Mr. Hendricks in Syracuse, N.Y. Her children were reared in Joliet,
with the exception of five years spent in Rockford,
where Mrs. Kelly was born. Mrs.
Hendricks is a woman of strong character and many admirable qualities. Through now advanced in years, she is active
and vigorous, and is devoted to the welfare of Mrs. Kelly’s
family, with whom
she makes her home.
