Biography Olympics
Jack Kelly is the greatest sculler the United States has ever produced. He began rowing with the Chamonix and Montrose Boat Clubs of Philadelphia, but in 1909 he joined the Vesper Boat Club. Between 1909 and his competitive retirement after the 1924 Olympics, Kelly won every sculling title available to him, including the World Championship in both singles and doubles, the Olympics in singles and doubles, and many national titles in both boats. In 1919 and 1920, he won the national single sculls title over both the sprint distance (¼-mile) and 1½ miles. Kelly never won the Diamond Sculls at the Henley Regatta because he was denied entry. The usual rumor is that he was considered a professional by the Henley authorities, because his trade, as a contractor, gave him an unfair advantage in that it required him to use his muscles for strengthening, but that is false. In fact, all members of Vesper Boat Club were banned for what were considered, to the British, earlier professional activities. Kelly would certainly have won that title had he been allowed to compete and in later years had the last laugh on the British when his "bricklaying" led to a lucrative business as a contractor in Philadelphia. Kelly fathered two very famous children – John Kelly, Jr., another Olympic rower, who became President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and the late Grace Kelly, the American movie star who later became Princess Grace of Monaco.

Margaret Kelly, mother of the late Princess Grace of Monaco and matriarch of the famed Kelly clan of Philadelphia, died at a convalescent home here. She was 91.

On May 1, 1965, Margaret Ann Davis (Meg) and I were married. Meg is Grace Kelly's niece and the Godmother of Princess Caroline, who, in turn, is Godmother to my eldest child, Richard. Meg's mother, Peggy, was Grace's eldest sister. This was a big "step-up" for me- a kid from the streets of New York City. I'm of Irish descent and, if you're Irish, we feel the two most famous Irish-American families are the Kennedy's and the Kelly's.

MARGARET CONLAN, SISTER OF GRACE AND JACK KELLY: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
Philadelphia Inquirer, The (PA) - Thursday, November 28, 1991
Deceased Name: MARGARET CONLAN, SISTER OF GRACE AND JACK KELLY

Margaret Conlan, 65, sister of the late actress Grace Kelly, died Saturday in Philadelphia after a long illness.

Mrs. Conlan, who grew up in Philadelphia and lived in the Fairmount neighborhood, was even more beautiful than her younger sister Grace, said her nephew John B. Kelly.

"She was probably the prettiest of all of them, even though Grace got the attention when she went to Hollywood," he said.

Known as Peggy, Mrs. Conlan was a philanthropist, giving money to at least two of the organizations her family supported: Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania and the Vesper Boat Club. Her brother, Jack Kelly, who died in 1985, and her father, John Kelly, had won medals for rowing in the Olympics.

Mrs. Conlan graduated from the Stevens Academy, a high school that was in Germantown. She enjoyed the ocean and visiting the family's vacation home in Ocean City, N.J., her nephew said.

"She'd invent games," he recalled. "At family outings, she'd take photographs from newspapers and substitute faces. You had to guess who the face really belonged to. Sometimes the faces would belong to family members and she'd poke fun at them."

Mrs. Conlan's first marriage, to George L. Davis,  ended in divorce, as did her second marriage, to Eugene Conlan.

She is survived by her daughters from her first marriage, Margaret Rowe and Mary Lee Kenworthy; a sister, Lizanne LeVine, and eight grandchildren.

After services yesterday at the McIlvaine Funeral Home in East Falls, Mrs. Conlan was buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Cheltenham Township.
