!OBITUARY
FORMER JUDGE OF COUNTY COURT PASSES AWAY

William Tyler Keathley was born near Annapolis August 3, 1870, and died June 18, 1953, aged 82 years, 10 months and 15 days.

He was united in marriage to Martha Evaline Lewis on February 19, 1892, and to this union thirteen children were born. His wife and 11 children survive his. The living children are:

Della Tesreau, St. Louis; Walker Keathely, Ironton, Lucille Fanali, Point Arena, California; Nettie Helms, Hamburg, Michigan; Levter Keathley, St. Louis; Charles E. of San Gabriel, California; Clarence of Jefferson City; Herschel of Anchorage, Alaska; Myrene Wallace of Ironton; Lorene Keathely of Ironton; Marshall Keathley of Midland, Texas.

He also leaves 27 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren to honor his memory.

At an early age he became a member of the Christian Church at Brunot. Later he united with the First Baptist Church here at Ironton.

During his entire life he practiced Christian principles in his home and in his community. For this reason, it is not necessary to eulogize his at this time. His life was a testimony of Micah's writing: “He has showed you, oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and love kindness and to walk humbly with your God.”

Mr.Keathley served his county as Judge of the County Court from the Southern District and was always a man of high principle and anxious to serve to the best of his ability.

Services were from the White and Sons Chapel Saturday afternoon and burial was at the Arcadia Valley Memorial Park. Rev. Nelson was in charge of the funeral and Whites the funeral arrangements.

Richard Pingilley:

Abigail came to Iron Co. when her brother Campbell migrated
there circa 1855.

From Audra Genna 5/21/00:

Hi! I just received your email. I am almost certain that your great
grandmother Abigail Johnson is the sister of my great grandfather Campbell
Johnson. My great grandfather Campbell Johnson was born March
1834 in floyd county Kentucky. He had a older sister Elizabeth Johnson born
in Virginia and a older brother born in Virginia. Elizabeth married William
Riley Mead aug. 08, 1841 in Floyd County, Kentucky. Elizabeth and her
husband and children John & his wife mary and my great grandfather Campbell
came to Reynolds County, Mo about 1855. On June 29, 1860 Campbell
married Charlotte Hannah in Iron County.
I have reason to beleive that Ruth Trout and Edward Johnson are
the parents of my great grandfather. I had contact with a man from Illinois
and in his notes Christian Trout & Mary elizabeth Gearhart are the parents
of Ruth Trout. and in these notes was my Aunt Elizabeth Johnson and her
husband William Riley Mead and their daughter Rossanah Mead that
married James K. Polk Randolph, he also listed Ruth Trouts brothers and sisters
and their spouses. and their children but they didn't know who Ruth &
Edwards children were. I contacted Cathy Hamilton from floyd county Kentucky
for a 1850 look up on a Ruth or edward Johnson and she found Ruth Johnson the
1850 Floyd County Census with her children.

Ruth Johnson 47 VA
Sarah 19Ky
Campbell 16 Ky
Jackson 14
Letta 12 Ky
Abigail 10 Ky
Paralee 8 Ky
William 21 Ky
Mahala 21 Ky

So I am almost certain I have found great grandfather Campbell's parents
plus his siblings.

My grandfather was named Edward Jackson Johnson. Let me know
what you think or if you find anything. My great grandfather died in Reynolds
county, Mo and is buried in Iron County, mo in the rutter Cemetery.

From Rich Pingilly 3/28/00:
I also had read that Abigail Johnson was from Pike Co. and had
found the seven-year-old daughter of Bailey and Rebecca Johnson
on the 1850 Pike County census. Since she is still there on the 1860
census (ours was in Iron Co. and married in 1860) AND since this Abigail
married Jefferson Johnson, I was confused. Then I read a GenForum
entry about a Campbell Johnson who came to Iron Co. around 1855 from KY
and my interest was piqued since our Abigail was from KY and
married in 1857.
I then found the Johnsons on the 1850 Floyd Co., KY census.

Ruth Johnson 47 VA
Sarah 19 KY
Campbell 16 KY
Jackson 14 KY
Letta 12 KY
Abigail 10 KY (ours was born 4 Feb. 1840)
Parallee 8 KY
William 21 KY
Mahala 21 KY

Edward had died between 1843 (last land entry) and 1847
(Ruth Johnson mentioned alone in father's will--other children mentioned
with spouse). I don't know if Ruth came with Campbell and
Abigail to Iron Co. or not. Campbell married in Iron Co. in 1860 and
Abigail in 1857. Mud Creek, where Edward owned land, is just inside the
Floyd Co. line.
The Johnsons had dealings in Pike Co. since Ruth's parents lived in
Pike Co. and John (Edward and Ruth's oldest son) married in Pike Co.
