I had to look at census records to find names and ages of your Kelcher "family". Names, date (or even approximate dates) and locations are very helpful in research.

I will just give info from 1920 census, since it looks like Annie's mother and brother are living with the Kelchers.

1920 census Jasper Co, TX:

Kelcher, Jack, h, 6?, md, came to U.S. 18?9, nat, b Can, Eng, Ire
" Annie, w, 45, md, b MS, TN, MS
" L____, s, 20, sgle, b TX [1910 census shows Leland]
" Bronson, s, 16, b TX
" Katie, d, 12, b TX
Maddox, Mary, hd, 64, wid, b MS, TN, TN
" Maxie, s, 28, sgle, b TX, TN, MS

The TX Dth Idx 1890-1976 came online recently -- http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?..#w=;p=2;c=1320964;t=searchable -- You can view digitized copy of original death records for more details.
