World War I Veteran Dies
Bellevue Leader, December 16, 1943

ORION M. KEIL, 46, DIES WEDNESDAY

Former Resident and World War I Veteran Will Be Brought Here For Burial

Relatives in Bellevue were shocked when word came Wednesday evening that Orion M.
Keil had breathed his last at the Veterans’ Hospital in Danville, Illinois. He had
been ill about a month and the immediate cause of his death was a blood clot.

Orion was the eldest son of the late Wm.  And Mary Keil and was born in Bellevue on
March 15, 1897. He grew to manhood in this community and served with the Armed
Forces in World War I. A number of years ago he was married at Avoca, Iowa, and is
survived by his wife. For the past six years he has been employed in a government
plant in Peoria, Illinois.

He was a member of the Catholic church and the last rites will be held from the
Kempter-Egelhof Funeral Home to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Saturday morning. The
body will arrive in Bellevue tonight at 10:30 and will be taken to the funeral
home.

Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his passing his mother, Mrs. William Keil of
Bellevue; two brothers, Lloyd of Bellevue and Dr. Wilfred Keil of Iowa City; and two
sisters, Mrs. A. J. Kies of Waterloo and Mrs. N. D. Sklavenitis of Elkhorn,
Wisconsin.
