DEATH OF VIM. P. KEITH

urday, Unconscious to the
End.

GAAAs
William P. Keith, one of Laf-
ayette County's most highly
respected citizens, suffered a
stroke of paralysis Saturday
about 1870 o'clock and though
never gaining consciousness lin
gered until 2 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon when death ensued.
Mr.. Keith was born in Aber-
deen, Scotland, March %, 1886,
and was nearly 80 years of age.
He was a miller by trade and
had learned it in that severe but
efficient school of apprenticeship
where wages were practically
nil, but where the thorough
ness exacted made masters
of the trades. He lived in Lex
ington from 1869 to 1871, and
was in charge of the Marshall &
Eatser mill located on the river
front. He afterwards moved to
Mayview and ran a mill there
until he took up farming, con-
tinuing this vocation until his
death.
Mr.. Keith was splendid char
acter. His honesty and integrity
was as rugged as the country in
which he was born. He took an
active interest in everything per-
tanning to the welfare of the
community. He served the May
view school district either as d.
rector or clerk for forty-four
years, and it is recited by those
in position to know, that he kept
apace with modern methods and
was ever an advocate for what
ever seemed best regardless of
monetary consideration. He was
a member of the Mt. Hebron
% u m b rland Presbyterian
church and an elder for more
than forty years.
Mr.. Keith is survived by his
wife, who was formerly Miss
Annie Cumming, also a
native of Scotland; three
sons, William c., of May
view, John, of Odessa, and Chas.
A., of this city. He is also sur
vived by three grandchildren of
a deceased daughter, living in
the west.
The funeral was held at
the Mt. Hebron church Thurs
day morning at IL o'clock.
