Pat Kelly—Kelly Lake and Hickory Area Pioneer and Legend.
Pat Conley sent some very interesting and pertinent photos and text of Pat Kelly–a Kelly Lake pioneer and legend.
With Pat’s knowledge, generosity and time, we were able to put together a somewhat-telling chronicle of Pat Kelly’s and his heirs’ contributions to Kelly Lake and the Hickory area. You will also find this in “Kelly Lake History” under “Categories”. Thanks, Pat, for going through your archives to share with us! Roger
