For kelkdea7:
My wife's maiden name is Kelker.Her grandfather was Grant,son of John Kelker,who was the son of David Kelker & Mary Houser.Kelker Junction was named for John.It is about 30 miles north of where we have lived our entire lives:Pueblo,Colorado.I have done a lot of research into the family but I am not aware of any railroad accident there.I have run across the fact that someone in the family history went to China.I believe you & my wife are descendents of John Kelker.
I'd like to know more about your grandfather,John.What were his parents names?I have also come across the names Ethel & Marie from NY.What were the names of your great great uncles? Please let me know.
