Death of William Nelson Keys.— On Monday evening, Dec. 3, Mr. William Nelson Keys, of Egmond- ville, passed away very suddenly. Although he- had been in failing health for some time, he was able to attend to the duties around the home, thus the friends and neigh- bors were surprised to hear of his sudden death. Mr. Keys was in his 87th year. He was born in Stanley Township January 3, 1.865, the youngest son of the late Mr. a,nd Mrs. Andrew Keys. On Dec. 19. 1893, he was united in marriage to Minerva M. Kennedy, of Stanley, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Kennedy, and they farmed on bbe Babylon Line, Stanley, un- til 1935, when they left the farm and retired to Egmondville. He is survived by his wife, also five sons, Sherlock, of Varna; (George Rus- kin, of Windsor; Wilbur, of Tuck- ersmith; Stuart N., of Ortille., and Elmore, of the Babylon Line, Stan- ley; also by a number of grandohii.- dren. Mr. Keys was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him. In- dustrious in his' habits and. strict -1 ly honest in his dealings, he was always interested in every ,good and moral enterprise. From his early life he was a faithful mem- ber of the Methodist Church, later of the United Church, in which church he held the office of Elder. In the passing of Mr. Keys, one of the oldest members of the Keys family has gone. In the pioneer days an older generation of. the Keys' settled in Stanley, a family of six brothers and one siker. Most of those brothers lived on the Babylon Line and attended the Methodist Church, hence it went by the name 'Keys' Chapel'. Though through the years those families have been widely scattered, still many of their descendants are liv- ing in the same community. The funeral service was held Thursday at 2 p.m. at the G. A. Whitney Funeral Home, with interment in Bayfield cemetery. Rev. A. W. Gardiner was in charge of the ser- vice. The pallbearers were Donald Keys, §eorge Keys, Merton Keys, Stuart Keys, Clifford 'Keys and George E. Johnson.
