    Mr. Paul F. Kelly
    Crickhollow
    663 Pleasant Plains Road
    Millington, New Jersey 07946


    Dear Mr. Kelly:

    In reference to your inquiry regarding your Grandfather, Frank B. Kelly, I regret to say that our old Service records
    have long since been destroyed. I have researched our files for any references to Frank B. Kelly and found the following
    information.
    Frank Bernard Kelly was appointed to the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia on July 3, 1891.
    There is no information in our files regarding his service with the Metropolitan Police Department. We do know that he
    was detailed to the White House as part of the Metropolitan Police Department on September 29, 1905. He continued to
    serve on this detail until the creation of the White House Police force as a separate police force on October 1, 1922.
    Information concerning Mr. Kelly's tenure with the Metropolitan Police Department can be secured by contacting the
    Administrative Records Section of the Metropolitan Police Department at 300 Indiana Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C.
    20001.
    Private Frank B. Kelly was one of the original thirty-three (33) men who comprised the newly created White House
    Police. Private Kelly was assigned to the Executive Offices (West Wing of the White House). He remained in the same
    assignment until his retirement on April 30, 1931.
    There is no record of when Private Kelly may have met the thirteen (13) Presidents mentioned in the article attached to
    your letter. We do know that he served under the following Presidents.
    Theodore J. Roosevelt 1905-1909

    I think "I. Connole" is the same person mentioned as "Connole, Officer White House Police " on a web page dedicated to Harry S. Truman's White House Staff.
