The Sabine Index - Almond Key

  4 Nov 1938 - Almond Key died at Fraser hospital, Many, October
31 at 7:30, where he had been ill since October 18.

  Mr. Key was 35 years, seven months and seven days of age.  He
leaves a wife, Hazel Key, a daughter, Rita Evonne Key; his mother,
Mrs. J. J. Key of Kisatchie, three sister, Mrs. Chris F.
Funderburk, Mrs. Zula Boot, Mrs. Henry Funderburk, each of
Kisatchie; six brothers, Adam Key of Many, Danny Key of Coushatta,
Miles Key of Alexandria, Billie Key of Robeline, J. C. Key of
Hornbeck and Eddie Key of Alco.  He also leaves a host of
relatives and friends.

  Active pallbearers were:  L. B. Skinner, Osborn Miller, Clarence
Laird, Simon Robinson, Billie Ashley, Harvey Skinner, L. B.
Moffett, and Edwin Fraser.

  Mr. Key trusted in Christ as his personal Savior at Kisatchie
church while in his early teens, and was at his death an active
member in the Plainview Baptist church where he served as deacon.
Surly his faith in Christ that gave him patience during his
sufferings will encourage us who Iive now to be more faithful
and loyal to the Christ was meant so much to Almond.

  Mr. Key spent the last fourteen of sixteen years teaching, most
of the time being spent in Sabine parish; he was this year
assistant principal in the Plainview high school.

  The funeral services were conducted at Kisatchie church November
1 at 10:30, followed by a brief service and burial in the Oak Grove
cemetery of Effie at 3 p.m.  Brother Elbert Brown, pastor of the
Plainview Baptist church, had charge of the services, and was
assisted by Brother Tom Behan of Kisatchie and Brother C. W.
Williams of Many.  The Morgan funeral home of Natchitoches was in
charge.

  His was a life of usefulness.  He will be missed in the home, in
the school, in the community, but possibly most of all in his
church.  He loved the church and talked much of it during his
illness.  The Founder of the church gave him much comfort in his
sickness.  May the faith that was his undergird up hold each of us
that we may carry on.
