Melodee, You send me a request via private e-mail plus I see that you posted to the List as well. I'm going to reply to your List posting so that the information will be preserved in archives for benefit of future researchers. I found the following individuals listed as being buried in Keysville Cemetery, but listing indicates that they are buried in unmarked graves, therefore, they have relied on obits as proof that they are supposedly buried there: KEY: OBITUARY: Elizabeth Key wife of Thomas Key and daughter of Rev. G. W. Dobbs, died of consumption Monday morning July 20, 1891. Mrs. Key leaves three children, the oldest six years of age. KEY: OBITUARY: Thomas Elijah Key was born as Kaysville (sic) Missouri October 12, 1856, and died April 27, 1932. At the age of 76 years, 6 months and 15 days. He was married in 1885 to Miss. Telitha Dobbs who died about the year of 1890. To this union three children were born: Lester Thomas, Zelma, Mae. Zelma died in 1913. May died in 1925 and Lester Thomas is the only living child. His second wife formerly Mrs. Jennie Sites whom he married in 1905 and who bore him no children. Thomas E. Key was for many years postmaster and station agent at Keysville. KEY: OBITUARY: Eunice Jamison Stanford was born February 7, 1857 and died on May 9, 1933. She had reached the age of 76 years, 3 months and 2 days. On December 14, 1876, she married James H. Sites who died April 16, 1910. Five children were born to them as follows: Russell Sites, Mrs. J. T. McMillen, Charles E. Sites, John M. Sites and Curtis E. Sites who died in childhood. In 1914 she married Thomas E. Key of Keysville, he died April 27, 1932. [Melodee, I typed the above marriage dates exactly as they are published even though they conflict.] Possibly Related?: Listed as having tombstone: KEY: ELIJAH May 20, 1809-May 8, 1888 - Elijah Key was the son of Elijah and Sarah Collins Key. He was one of nine children. He had a twin brother William. MATILDA Oct. 20, 1819 - Oct. 10, 1874 - Matilda was wife of Elijah Key. [Related to William Elijah above?] Melodee, there are other Key graves listed in this cemetery which you didn't specifically request. Would you like me to list them all for you, and any other graves which appear to be connected to the Key family? If so, just let me know and I can do that for you. Here is the history of Keysville as contained in "Cemetery Records of Crawford County, Missouri by Helen Marie Wright" which was published along with cemetery listing: HISTORY OF KEYSVILLE Among the sixty three settlers who were already living in Crawford County in January 1829, eleven of them had settled in the vicinity of Keysville. Four of the families were Keys, hence it was natural that the place be called Keysville. The earliest settler was Obadiah Key. He came with his young bride from Kentucky. They first settled briefly in Washington County, Missouri but arrived in Crawford County in 1825. Obadiah's wife was Mary Carter and her relatives, the Carters were among the pioneer settlers. Obadiah Key became a useful citizen in the Keysville community. He served as county judge and magistrate, bot positions of trust in the early days. Keysville4 had its beginning on the south banks of Crooked Creek across and not far from the present site. It was first called Old Elm Tree, an unusual name, but called such from the present of a very large wife spreading elm tree at that site. > Obituary lookup- Crawford County( Keysville) I am looking for death or > obit > information on these individuals 1{ Thomas E Key, husband of Teletha( > Letha > ) Dobbs- they were married 9-2/1885 2) Teletha or Letha C Key Nee : Dobbs > 3) William H Key( Keysville, Crawford) Husband of > Mary > A Key( Dobbs) 4) Mary A Key Nee: Doobs Thankyou > for > your time in looking up these names. hope you can find their information, > Have > a good day!!!
