Obituary of Nathan Maroney Keadle as written on page 1 of "The Camilla 
Enterprise" dated 19 Jul 1957.  Camilla, Georgia.  

The entire community was saddened this week by the untimely death of Nathan 
Maroney Keadle Sunday night, at the Mitchell County Hospital where he had been 
confined for less than a week.  News of his passing carried sorrow to an 
unusually large number of relatives in Mitchell County and hundreds of 
friends.  Funeral services took place Tuesday afternoon at the First Baptist 
Church in Camilla with his former pastor, the Rev. Charles Duncan, of 
Copperhill, Tenn., conducting the services, assisted by Rev. N. H. Williams, 
and the Rev. G. T. Hunt.  Music for the services was provided by a Quartet 
composed of Tom Collins, Ed Singletary, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Robertson, with Mrs. 
W. A. Smith Jr., organist. Bramlett Funeral Home was in charge of 
arrangements.  Interment followed the services in Oakview Cemetery.  Active 
pallbearers, all nephews of the deceased, were Frederick Keadle, Spencer 
Keadle, Larry Mercer, Paula Keadle, Charles Keadle and Edward Keadle.  Honorary

Morrell, Geo. Lawrence Jr., M. W. Williams, James L. Davis, B. P. Palmer, Joe 
T. Spence, Tom Hayes, Morris Walters and Bob Rouse.  Nathan Maroney Keadle was 
forty-five years of age.  He had been confined to the Mitchell County Hospital 
for less than a week when he died Sunday night at ten o'clock.  Never 
recovering from injuries sustained in an automobile accident just outside 
Thomasville, three and a half years ago, Nathan had been in declining health.  
After spending months in the hospital he was able to return to limited business 
activities of his saw mill and farms in the last year of two, conducting most 
of his business from his car.  He could not walk again without assistance 
following the accident.  He was taken suddenly last Monday night and was moved 
to the hospital.  A lifetime resident of the county, he was the son of the late 
Willie Wade Keadle and Mrs. Clara Maroney Keadle.  Following graduation from 
school he worked at various businesses.  He was the first manager of the 
Mitchell Electric Membership Corporation and served this group in it beginning 
years.  He later formed the Keadle Brothers Company and engaged for a time in 
the construction of transmission lines in other REA projects in the state.  He 
also engaged in saw milling with Keadle Brothers Saw Mill and extensive farming 
interests.  He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Camilla, and he was 
a Rotarian.  Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Evelyn West, and three 
daughters, Miss Evalyna Keadle, Miss Barbara Keadle, and Miss Rebecca Keadle.  
There are five brothers, N. F. Keadle of Thomasville, Rev. P. J. Keadle, L. Z. 
Keadle, Homer H. Keadle and W. L. (Mutt) Keadle, all of Camilla, and a number 
of nieces and nephews and other relatives.
