Summary
Paid death-notice — Imelda Kelly Krueger, died November 10 1926. Beloved wife of Karl P. Krueger; loving daughter of Mrs. Mary Kelly; and sister of MRS. JAMES MURPHY, Irene, Mary and Walter Kelly. Funeral Friday November 12 1926 at 8:30 a.m. from the chapel of Cunningham & O'Connor, 1031 South Grand avenue, Los Angeles. Requiem mass at St. Vibiana's Cathedral at 9 a.m. Interment Calvary Cemetery. ARCHIVE-RELEVANT FINDING. The decedent's sister "Mrs. James Murphy" is most plausibly the same "Mrs. James J. Murphy" of Victoria Avenue LA who appears as mother of the bride in the 1940 Llewellyn-Murphy wedding. If so, Mrs. James J. Murphy's MAIDEN NAME was KELLY — making the LA Murphy household a Murphy / Kelly union. The 1940 daughter Imelda Murphy (a Llewellyn-Murphy bridesmaid) would then be named for her aunt Imelda Kelly Krueger (deceased 1926). The user's filename ("KBTJEGER") is a typo for "KRUEGER." KELLY-SIDE FAMILY: Mrs. Mary Kelly (mother, alive 1926); four surviving siblings — Mrs. James Murphy [married name], Irene Kelly, Mary Kelly, Walter Kelly. Per user direction (2026-05- 26) the speculative-lineage hypothesis is held lightly and the user's supplemental records will arrive in a future folder.
