Rome Sentinel October 21, 1892
James L. Keith of 417 W. Liberty St. died at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon aged 61 
yrs. Mr. Keith had suffered for nearly four years with consumption to which 
disease his death was due. He was born in Newport, Herkimer county, New York 
and at 15 yrs of age removed to Foreston, Illinois where he lived for 5 yrs 
going from there to Freeport, Illinois. He became engaged in the fruit business 
in that city, making it his home for 40 years. Failing health necessitated his 
retirement and last spring he moved to Rome hoping that the change of climate 
would prove beneficial. This hope was disappointed however as he continued to 
fail in health and his death was not unexpected. Besides a widow, Etta Barnard 
Keith, an adopted son, Arthur, sruvives him, also his brothers, Bowen Keith of 
Fairport, George of Illion, and his sister, Nancy Childs of Waukeegan, 
Illinois. The deceased was a son of the late James Keith and a brother of the 
late Charles F. Keith of Rome.
