Biography
Horace was born in Philadelphia on March 12, 1878 at 2367 Tulip Street, Kensington to Catherine Ayres & Richard Kelly.
In 1898 he married Matilda Jane White shortly before enlisting in the Army for the Spanish-American War.
They had 3 children: Priscilla, Matilda and Horace Kelly Jr.
In 1910 the family was living on the 6000 block of Hegerman Street just around the corner from his sister, Sarah Kelly Burns, and her family.
Horace worked at the Disston Saw Works as a file cutter until his health became too poor.
He died on August 15, 1917 at age 39 in the Hamburg State Sanatorium of tuberculosis, contracted during the war. He and Matilda had been seperated before his death.
She married Clyde Shuster in 1918. Horace Sr. is probably burried somewhere in Philadelphia.
Matilda Jane White Shuster died sometime after 1931, probably in Philadelphia.
