Robert Lee "Bob" Key was a lineman for the City of Burkburnett. He was accidentally electrocuted while working to repair downed power lines during a storm.

Robert Lee's mother wanted to provide him a marble headstone, but since she had no money, she made a cement stone and embedded marbles along the top to spell out "KEY". Since she had no car, she carried her homemade stone the three miles to the cemetery.
