Stewart, R.D. No. 1 Box 102, Brownsville, Pa. NUMBER One Christmas 1936. Free and worth it. KEEP THIS MAGAZINE IN THE FAMILY BIBLE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE A few days after the Kelley reunion for 1936 your historian went to Rices Landing and learned that the session of the Hewitt Presbyterian Church had consented to let the church be used for the 1937 reunion. He went at once to see Rev. Adam R. Rush and arranged to have the reunion sermon preached by him. ***************** Adam Robert Rush was born September 27, 1859 on his father's farm near Jefferson, Penn'a. He is a son of Jacob Strawn Rush and Charlotte (Kelley) Rush. This Charlotte Kelley (I say this Charlotte because there was another Charlotte) was a daughter of William Kelley and Elizabeth (Ewart) Kelley. This William was a son of our ancestor William Kelley, Senior. Adam R. Rush was received in the Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church in 1888. His first charge was in Union Circuit in Greene County, Penn'a; his last at Amity, Penn's. After thirty-five years of active service he took a super-annuated relation to the Conference in 1924. He is a member of the Odd Fellows. He married Martha Ellen Crago of Rices Landing, Pa. They had two daughters, Mrs. William Daniel Loos of California, Pa. and Gertrude Glenn Rush who died in her fifth year. After the death of his first wife, Rev. Rush married Elisabeth Winifred Murphy of the Murphy Homestead near Perryopolis, Pa. They are living on this Murphy Homestead now. They have no children. Their address is R.D.#1, Perryopolis, Penn'a. ************************ Our clan president J. Edward Kelley with his wife called recently on the historian at the Stewart Homestead. *************************** Harry W. Colmery, new National Commander of the American Legion, was for four years a pupil of Miss Elizabeth A. Kelley when she was a teacher in North Braddock, Pa.

His address is Topeka, Kansas. *********************** Mrs. Olive Blanche Diehl, wife of Clifford Diehl, died at Hutchinson in Westmoreland County, Pa. September 27, 1936.
