Kelley Orange Timeline Sparks Pleasanton Retro Tale
A Pleasanton Express column recalls Thomas L. Kelley of Jourdan ton and an orange now 63 years old. The fruit, given in 1904 to a neighbor, survived as a family keepsake even after the box supper tale and the girl later became Mrs. Kelley. Sunkist correspondence confirms the orange predates the 1908 Sunkist trademark. Suzi Smith plans to teach in Liberty Mo. after two years in Lubbock. The journey highlights local memory and a rare relic.
