!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.

He became a Christian at an early age and united with Ironton Baptist Church, where he was a member the remainder of his life.

On July 22, 1918, he was called to serve his country in World War I. He was in the 10th Infrantry Division at Camp Funston, Kansas. His company was under the command of General Leonard Wood.

In 1917, he was married to Lela Crowley. Three children were born to this union: Maurice who died at the age of twenty-one, Wilma Goggin, and Garnett Keathley.

He is survived by three grandchildren, Jimmy, Priscilla, and Barbara Goggin. They were his great source of joy and price to the last moments of his life.

In 1944, he was married to Jewell King, who was constant in her devotion to him and his family.

He is also survived by a host of friends and relatives. His brothers and sisters are:

And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, and to love kindnes,s
And to walk humbly with your God?

Last rites for the departed were held Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock from Whites' Funeral Home and interment made in the Masonic cemetery. (newspaper clipping from

!NOTES
Lester Keathley was never married.

This research note courtesy of Linda E. Lewis, “George Lewis Descendants”, published October 1992.

[from her brother Clarence Keathley in March 1988]
Lester was one of a kind!

She lived a full life with wide experience and a consuming interest in all phases of life. Being a member of a large family she was the "pivotal" point and a magnet to all.

She was very considerate of all her relatives. She kept in close contact with relatives and friends and maintained an historical record by the use of photographs. Brothers and sisters benefited through her financial and moral support. She also made it possible, through the acquisition of the Russellville home, for our parents to enjoy many happy years of retirement. The home became family headquarters for all--children, grandchildren, relatives and friends.

A dedicated, trained elementary school teacher for over forty years, she was justly proud of her profession.

We, the remaining members of the family could be proud if we could measure up to her zest for living.

***

Lester Keathley was born September 1, 1901, the sixth of thirteen children of William Tyler and Martha Evaline Lewis Keathley. She was named for her mother's friend, a woman named Lester.

After graduating from high school, Lester attended Stephens and College and University of Missouri to earn her teaching credentials. She taught at Bristol School in Webster Groves, Missouri during the week, and travelled home by train to take care of her parents and sister on the weekends.

Lester wrote a story about seeing Halley's Comet as the family rode their wagon to church on a Sunday morning in 1910. Since communication was limited, no one was aware the comet was coming, and it was a scary event for many people. But Lester remembers being unhappy that day because she had to wear her sister's black poplin coat!

Lester is remembered as an open-minded, compassionate person. Her niece Jean Gover credited Lester with helping her through the time of her parents' divorce. Lester always looked after Jean, no matter where she lived.

After their parents died, Lester and her sister Lorene moved to a house on Reynolds in Ironton. And in their later years they resided at the Baptist Home. She died in February of 1988.

A TRIBUTE TO MR. KEATHLEY
Ironton will miss the familiar red car driven by the white haired gentleman--named Clarence Keathley. Clarence has gone to live with his daughter, Caroline, and family in Northbrook, Illinois.
Since his retirement from his position as Welfare Training Supervisor for the Missouri Division of Welfare in Jefferson City, Clarence has spent his time finding, recording, and preserving the history and heritage of Iron County





FOURTH GENERATION

After the death of his wife, the former Anna Sutterfield, he turned his full attention to his consuming hobby.
He guided the Historical Society in the publishing of the book IRON COUNTY BROUGHT INTO FOCUS as a bicentennial project in 1976. By 1980 Clarence was president of the Society and they published the book READIN' RITIN’ AND 'RITHMETIC, A HISTORY OF SCHOOLSIN IRON COUNTY, MISSOURI 1840-1981. He was the author and compiler. In the same year he had a little book printed on his own called SALT AND PEPPER, a collection of old sayings.
In 1984 Clarence published two little books on his own: IRON COUNTY YEAR BY YEAR, and UNITED STATES POST OFFICES IN IRON COUNRY, MISSOURI THEN AND NOW. Each of these projects involved countless hours of research among old records, interviews with many people, countless letters, and many miles driven in his car. No effort was too much to make sure the information was there and correct.
In between and since then, Clarence has had several articles published in various magazines, including the OZARKS MOUNTAINEER and the MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW. The latest will appear in the Fall Historical Review.
Mr. Keathley has donated many historical documents, the post office boxes from the old Annapolis Post Office, many artifacts and copies of his writings to the Historical Society.
The Keathley family has lived in Iron County for a long time. There was a large family and all have distinguished themselves in their work. Education has been a driving force for the whole family. Lester and Lorene
Keathley are residents of The Baptist Home, Myrene Wallace lives in Bismarck, Herschel Keathley lives in Ironton, Marshall in Denver, and Elmer in California. (This article appeared in THE MOUNTAIN ECHO newspaper on August 16, 1987 in

Herschel Fred Keathley was born at Brushy Creek Farm, Des Arc, Missouri. He was the tenth of thirteen children of William Tyler and Martha Evaline Lewis Keathley.

When Herschel was still a toddler, his father was given the opportunity to oversee the County Poor Farm outside of Ironton. The family loaded all their belongings onto wagons, and headed north, with Herschel sitting in his mother's lap the entire way.

Herschel and his brothers and sisters have documented their childhood years by writing down their wonderful stories. They were hard working, but also knew how to have fun and exhibited the Keathley sense of humor.

When Herschel was 22, he met Alice Jane Randolph. Alice Jane became pregnant, and the couple married in August of 1931. Daughter Georgia Gene (Jean) was born the following November.

Alice Jane and Herschel both had strong personalities, and this led to their divorce when Jean was about seven. Herschel moved to Lassen Park, California to work for his brother Elmer, and soon after had Alice Jane and Jean join him there. The couple was remarried in 1940 because Herschel was joining the Navy to fight in World War II. If something were to happen to him, the military benefits would go to Jean.

Not long after Herschel returned from the War, the couple divorced again. Herschel had met Peggy Stearns, and they were married in 1945. Herschel had always wanted to live in Alaska, and he moved his new wife to Spenard, where their three children (Sandy,Debi and Skip) were born. He owned a tourist lodge and worked in construction.

After raising their three children, Herschel and Peggy were divorced, and he returned to his childhood home of Ironton. There he lived out his days reconnecting with his remaining brothers and sisters and getting to know his granddaughter Judy, and great grandson JT.

Herschel died in August of 1990 of a heart attack. His daughter Jean reunited with her three half siblings to handle arrangements. The four had only met once in the late 1950's, but a casual observer would have thought they had known each other their entire lives.

In 1992, Jean and her husband John, Skip, Judy, and JT travelled to Bellingham, Washington, the home of sisters Sandy and Debi. The group took Herschel's ashes out on the water and scattered them over the Sound.

Herschel married Alice Jane Randolph on 20 Aug 1931 in Flat River, St. Francois County, Missouri, USA. Alice was born in 1913 in , , Missouri, USA; died on 29 Jan 2000. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From the Baptist How in Arcadia newletter:

Lorene Keathley was born in Ironton on February 15, 1914. She was one of 11 children born to Martha Lewis and William Tyler Keathley.
From 1930, when she was sixteen years old, Lorene has never missed Sunday School. That is perfect attendance for an absolutely amazing 77 years. Imagine---77 years without missing Bible study. When she was young she and her siblings walked two miles to church at First-Ironton every Sunday. Now she attends Bible Study at The Baptist Home-Arcadia Valley each week.
She entered The Home on March 12, 1984 with her older sister, Lester. Lester passed away in 1988.
Another sister, Myrene Wallace also spent her final days at The Baptist Home, as did her brother, Clarence.
Her sister, Lester, was a close personal friend of the co-founder of The Baptist Home, Mary Riggs. Much of the personal information we have about Mary Riggs during their time in the Ironton comes from Lester’s recollections. Those who have an interest can read more in The Story of The Baptist Home by Ira Ann Hawkins, available by writing The Home for a copy.
While he was a resident Lorene’s brother, Clarence, also recounted his recollections of the early days of The Home in a series of articles written in The Baptist Home newsletter.
Lorene chuckled when she recalled her own bit of history. It seems Dr. Riggs, who had one of the few cars in the Arcadia Valley in those days, forgot to set the brake. The car plunged down the hill and narrowly avoided one of the small lakes near the highway.
According to Lorene, she has “had eye problems all my life,” but “haven’t been sick very much.” She is absolutely sure that they had bigger snows when she was younger.
After spending the last 23 years at The Baptist Home, Miss Keathley is content with her surroundings. “I don’t know where I’d be without The Baptist Home. It’s good here,” she said. When asked what she liked about The Baptist Home, Lorene had a good answer. “ Everything,” she replied.

!NEWSPAPER ARTICLES
The Mountain Echo is authorized this week to present the name of Issom Lewis of Annapolis as a candidate on the Democratic Ticket in the race for the Assessor of Iron County.
Mr. Lewis has lived most of his life in Iron County and was born and reared near Annapolis. He spent most of his life around there in timber work and faring.
His wife died many years ago and it was his job to rear his family of six children, which he did conscientiously and diligently. It may be said to his credit that his children have all attended high school and some of them gone on to college. They have grown to manhood and womanhood and are a credit to his and his teachings. One boy was killed in World War II.
Mr. Lewis is widely known and respected as a hardworking, soft spoken, honest man. He expects to carry his campaign to all parts of the county and wants to make many new friends in doing so. He says he is no fast talker but wants to meet everyone and present his case to the voters.
He is a man of good judgement and feels that he will be capable in the office of assessor if elected. He feels that it will be his duty to see every property owner and assess his property with his and do it fairly and justly.
He will appreciate the support and influence of the voters in the August primary election. (Newspaper clipping in possession of Linda Lewis on 6/21/1990)

!LETTER
Sullivan, No. Jan. 10, 1992
Brian,
I as going to write you a little story I don't think you have ever heard.
We bought that house and lot at Annapolis in 1940, I think. The lot was 50 feet by 150 ft. Avery was carrying the mail at that time. And he didn't make very such money as he had to bid it down so low to get the mail route.
We paid $350.00 for the house and lot and paid a little over $17.00 a month until we got it paid for (seemed like a life time).
We lived there about 10 years then we moved to the Vulcan tower, then we moved to Sullivan.
We have been living in Sullivan 37 years. We moved here in July after Paul died in April 1955.
We sold the house and lot for $2000.00 cash and thought we were rich. Do you like stories like this? Jim does.
Love,
Aunt Myrtle

Jim Ruble, 87, of Sullivan, MO, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 6, 2023 at Meramec Nursing Center in Sullivan.

James Adrian Ruble, affectionately known as Jim, was born on September 8, 1935, in Vulcan, Missouri. He married Irene Dillingham on February 11, 1956 in Des Arc, MO. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, a dedicated community servant, and a man of strong faith.

Jim was a proud graduate of Annapolis High School. His dedication to service led him to join the United States Air Force in 1953, where he served as an Airman First Class until 1957. Stationed in San Antonio, Texas, and Reykjavik, Iceland, Jim served his country with distinction. Following his honorable discharge, he joined the Meramec Mining Company, where he worked from 1958 to 1970. His commitment to worker safety eventually led him to a career with the US Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration, where he worked as a Federal Mine Inspector from 1970 until his retirement in 1996.

Jim's commitment to his community was evident in his involvement with various organizations. He served as a member of the Sullivan Volunteer Fire Department for 21 years and helped form an Auxiliary Police Force, where he was the first Captain. He was also a member of the Jaycees, the Masonic Lodge, and the Sons of the American Revolution. He served on the Board of Directors for the Harney Mansion, the Sullivan Planning and Zoning Commission, and as the President of Sullivan Homes, Inc. for 28 years.

A man of deep faith, Jim was a member of the First Baptist Church since 1959. His faith guided him throughout his life and was a source of strength and inspiration for his family and those who knew him.

Jim had a passion for restoring cars, particularly his 1941 Chevy, which won several awards. He had a keen interest in Civil War history and family genealogy, Jim carried a deep appreciation and love for his birthplace, Vulcan, Missouri, and his family. He was dedicated to caring for his mother after his father's passing, earning him the affectionate nickname "my boy" from his mother.

Jim is survived by his devoted wife of 67 years, Irene Ruble of Sullivan, Missouri; three children: Alan Ruble and wife Donna of Hannibal, Missouri, Beverly Gable and husband Bill of Ajijic, Mexico and Sandy Stoltzfus of Glenwood Springs, Colorado; nine grandchildren: Josh Thomas, Zack Thomas and wife Christy, Racheal Chicoine and husband Jathan, Rusty Ruble, Bryan Ruble and wife Jennifer, Ashley Mays and fiancé Austin Harris, Taylor Mays, Emma Stoltzfus, and Skyler Barnes and husband Ricky; eight great-grandchildren: Elliott, Liam, Azlon, Kael, Adalyn, Mirai, Oliver and William; a sister, Helen Crombie of Sullivan, MO; other relatives and many friends.
