RAY KEITH

On Saturday, March 13, at Pocatello, occurred the death of Ray Keith, son of 
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Keith of this place. He had been at home for a short visit 
last week, only returning to his duties with the O.S. L. at Pocatello on 
Saturday, and being stricken with pneumonia the first of the week. The dread 
disease was not long in doing its work and tho the best of medical aid and 
most efficient nurse service were administered, he succumbed about 3 o'clock 
Saturday morning. His sister Mrs. Nelle Dibble and his brother Robert Keith, 
were at his bedside having been summoned early in the week and being in 
constant attendance. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Reed, assisted by the 
American Legion were held Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian church and 
interment made in Riverside Cemetery.

Ray Keith was born at Brant Lake, So. Dakota, November 20, 1887, being past 32 
years at the time of his death. In 1902 he came to Payette with his parents 
and has lived here a part of the time since, tho his work as a mechanic has 
taken him elsewhere. A natural mechanic, he early begun his work along his 
chosen line, and has spent the greater part of his life in construction and 
engineering, being in the employ of the Oregon Short Line about eight years. 
He was of a quiet retiring nature, and his studious thorough disposition found 
its reward in an unusual efficiency which has accompanied all his work.

He served with Co. B., 91st Division, heavy artillery, in the recent war, 
resuming his interrupted duties upon his return from overseas.

Besides the parents, are left three sisters, Mrs. T. E. Helmbolt of Stetler, 
Canada, Mrs. Leonard Wright of Jerome, Idaho, Mrs. Earl Dibble of Payette, and 
three brothers, Walter S. Keith of Emmett, Idaho, Robert and Wayne of this 
place, all of whom excepting Mrs. Helmbolt have been at the family home during 
the past week.
