The mother of these children died in 1872, after which Mr. Keith married Susan Dean (Deen), of Miller County by whom he has five children: George, Sallie, Melvin, Cordelia and Mary.

In 1876 Mr. Keith/Keeth came from Miller County to Pulaski County, and purchased his present farm of 100 acres, 60 acres being under cultivation. He farmed exclusively for four years, but since that time has given a portion of his time to the mercantile business.
