Pioneer Woman is Dead on Comstock

Mrs. Emma Keig Passes Away After Suffering for Several Months

Mrs. Emma Keig, widow of Thomas Keig, passed away about 5 o’clock Saturday
afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.V. Ryan on B street, after an illness
extending over many years.  For several months she had been in a practically
helpless condition, but through all the long affliction had borne her sufferings
with remarkable fortitude.  Mrs. Keig was a native of Peel, Isle of Man, and
came to the Comstock in 1868, having made her home here continuously ever since.
 During her long residence in this city she had made hosts of friends, and was
held in the highest regard and esteem by all, being a woman of fine traits of
character which endeared her to all.  Her life was that of the true Christian
and one to be emulated.  Deceased is survived by three daughters, Mrs. W.V.
Ryan, Mrs. J.E. Toogood and Mrs. Hamilton, and a song, William Keig.  She also
leaves a brother, Robert Gracey of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Kate Watterson,
of Bishop, Cal.  The body will be taken to the Presbyterian church Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o’clock and friends and acquaintances are invited to attend the
services.  Interment will be private—Virginia Chronicle.
