MRS. ANNA KEITH

Mrs. Anna Keith, pioneer resid-
ent of Pierce county, was found dead
in bed at her home in this city Sunday
morning. She had not been consid-
cred as dangerously i'll, and her sud
den death came as a surprise and q
shock to the community.
Anna Drake was born in Allegany
Center, Penn, Jan. 20, 1854. She
moved with her parents in 1857 to
Hartland, this county.
She was married to Joshua Keith
Oct. Is, 1870 Mr.. Keith died Dec. 80,
1902.
Mrs. Keith was the mother of
twelve children, eight of whom re-
main to n.clIrn her loss. She also
leaves two brothers, JAMES, of Ellis
worth, and Henry, of Hartland; and
two sisters, Mrs. Mary Goodyear, of
Ellsworth, and Mrs. Susan Waghorn.
Mrs. Keith was received into the
Methodist church by Rev. T. j. Snod-
grass Sept. 2, 1900. She was a great
home lover and needless to say, her
hands and heart have been full caring
for her large family.
She lost daughter, Mrs. Anna
Spicker, in the far West the past win
ter and since then her future looked
different to her. She often spoke of
the great change and seemed to long
for the time when she would fly away
and be at rest.
To such one
There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some ether shore,
And bright in Heavens jcwelled
crown
They shine forevermore."
Her surviving children are, John,
of St. Paul; Mrs. Mabel Conner of
St. Paul; Bert, of Bruce, Wis; Geo.,
of Ellsworth; William of River Falls;
Marion, of Hudson; Mrs. Nell Sturte-
want, of Minneapolis, and Floyd, of
