Thomas Jefferson Marion Kelley was born on April 15, 1855, in Washington, Georgia, the third of ten children of Captain George W. Kelley, a farmer, mill-man, merchant, lumber trader and Confederate States Army Civil War veteran. A Georgia native, George Kelley was described as having been very active in the development of Alachua County, Florida.[1] Kelley was reared and educated mainly in Sandersville, Georgia, first reading medicine under his older brother, J. L. Kelley. Graduating in 1880, he took a course at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Medical College of Georgia.[2]
Kelley began his medicine practice in Gibson, county seat of Glascock County, Georgia.[2] In 1900, he was elected to represent Glascock County in the Georgia House of Representatives, an office he held for three terms, ending in 1906. Kelley supported a platform of tax cuts and ballot reform.[3][4] In 1906, Kelley was listed as one of five “energetic members of the lower house” by the Atlanta Constitution.[5]
On November 10, 1881, Kelley married Ida V. Logue.[6] After her death in 1884, Kelley married her first cousin, Mollie Logue, on October 1, 1884.[7][2] His wife Mollie died in 1909. In 1910, Kelley contracted paralysis after suffering from a stroke, leaving his speech seriously affected for the final two years of his life. Kelley died at age 57 on October 10, 1912, in Gibson, Georgia, and was survived by a brother, three sisters, two daughters and four sons.[8][9]
