Buried Tuesday at Towles Cemetery. Babe had ailed since birth. The marriage records for Ripley Co. are on the website and you'll find several of your KEITH marriages there. I didn't see this family in Ripley on the 1880 census, and the obituary suggests timeframe of about 1885, so I suspect a check of the 1880 census in Illinois would find the KEITH family. Carmi, Illiois is in White Co. The Illinois marriages are on-line and the following is listed . . . KEITH, HUDSON A to GREER, SARAH J WHITE CO. 08/21/1862 KEITH, HUTSON A to SCOTT, CHARLOTTE GARRETT (MRS) WHITE CO. 09/09/1886 I'll leave you to play with this. Pamela G. Smith Gresham, OR
