On the 13th day of September, 1914, he was joined in Holy wedlock to Miss Anna 
Ula Adkisson, daughter of Babe and Emma William Adkisson, of near Paynesville, 
who survives.  To this union were born five sons, Dwight Vanburan, Dewey 
Marvin, Lester Hutcherson, Cosby Jennings, James Eldred, two daughters, Eunice

He was preceded in death by his father, John William Keys, a brother Hubert 
Keys and an infant brother, Sherman Keys.

Church early in life, and lived a devoted member, later in years he brought his 
membership to Dry Valley Baptist Church of which he has been a Christian 
worker, faithful at all times with his family to attend each service. 
He was a devoted husband and father, one whose life was spent for his family, 
his friends, and his Master.  He was born and reared near this place--a well 
known citizen, lived most of his life in this community. 
He was a good neighbor and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. 
Fourteen years of this life was spent in ill health, yet he toiled on faithful 
and tried to help with the farm work where he had spent his days.  After a 
period of suffering he was called to his reward where his soul now rests.  He 
bore his suffering with much patience.  He loved to read his Bible and when he 
got so he was not able to read it himself he would have his wife and children 
to read to him. 
All that loving, faithful hands could do to soothe the pain and save his life 
was done both by his devoted  wife and family, but God had a place for him to 
rest where pain and sorrow is unknown.

conducted by Rev. Varble.  Burial was in Walnut Grove cemetery with Masonic 
rites, Att. Fred Morgan, of Brandenburg, was master of ceremonies.  
The pallbearers were his two brothers-in-law, Ellis Adkisson and Virgil Payne, 
and four brothers, Lonnie Keys, John Keys, Everett Keys and Clyde Keys.
