HARVEY W. KEITH.

  At 1.40 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Harvey W. Keith, died suddenly 
at his home, 119 Fourth avenue, of heart failure.  He was apparently in 
good health in the morning and was in bed taking a sleep.  About 10 
o'clock his wife sent one of the children to awaken him.  He complained 
of not feeling well and his wife noticing his heavy breathing, hastily 
sent for a physician, but when he arrived he had passed away.  Deceased 
was born in Tyrone township, April 23, 1860.  At one time he conducted 
a grocery store in this city and for many years was employed by the 
Pennsylvania railroad company.  At the time of his death he was agent 
for the Citizens' Wholesale Supply company, of Columbus, O.  About 
eighteen years ago he was married to Miss Laura Bordell, of Manhattan, 
Kan., who survives with three children, Carl, Ivy and Elmira.  He was 
an attendant to the Fifth Avenue Methodist Episcopal church.  Funeral 
announcement will be made later.
