From Clay County Centennial 1873-1973
Stanley was the oldest son of Samuel and Mattie (Bolding) Keen. When two years of age, Stanley moved with his parents to Chico, Texas. His brothers were Marion, Henry, Wiley and Newt. The latter two moved to Oregon. In 1898 Stanley came to near Antelope and was a cowboy for Newt Jones and Dr. A. B. Edwards. In 1899 he married Della Jane Kelly of Chico. They moved to the ranch at Gertrude.
In 1916 Stanely and Della and their six children went to New Mexico. They went in two covered wagons. It took 28 days for the journey, going along dim wagon roads through Seymour, Plainview, Floydada, Texline, Tucumcari and on to a ranch near Estancia. Two of their children rode their ponies all the way. They had a chuck wagon and cooked all their meals. After only eight months, their oldest son, Sam, age 16 was killed by a horse falling with him. The family returned to the N. J. Jones ranch in Texas.
Aside from Stanley's ranch work, he was a lover of the chase. His pedigreed wolf hounds led him on many a merry hunt. His latch string always hung on the outside to his friends. In their later years, Stanley and his wife returned to their ranch at Joy.
Their children were Emma Jane and six sons: Sam, Fred, Roy, Richard, Lee and Newt.
