Kathy, My gr-grandfather was a circuit riding minister in the boot heel area and I have some of his notes. In those notes I found the following entries: Mr Herman Keating joined the church at Hayward by vows August 2, 1937 Mrs "Era-mai" Keating joined the church at Hayward by baptism August 2, 1937 Mr John Keating joined the church at Hayward by baptism August 3 1937 I don't know if they are related to your KEATING or not, but I thought I'd pass it on. I don't know what "Era-mai" is supposed to be. Some of the records are hard to read and he wasn't the best speller. I didn't find any MICTHELLs. Happy hunting, Mike Laws St. Louis, MO
