Good morning Janet, I realize that some of the obituaries posted in the Tennessean are not always as informative as we wish they were. This is the case with Mr. Keeling. I went to the Crossville newspaper, the Crossville Chronicle and found a better copy of Mr. Keeling's obituary for you. It is shown below. Should you ever need it, the address for the Crossville Chronicle is: <A HREF="http://www.crossville-chronicle.com/Chronicle/Obituary/obituary.html"> OBITUARIES</A> http://www.crossville-chronicle.com/Chronicle/Obituary/obituary.html **************** LEONARD KEELING Leonard Keeling, 93, of Knoxville, TN, passed away March 23, 2001. Funeral services were conducted March 25 from the chapel of Crossville Memorial Funeral Home, with burial in Mayland Cemetery. Cliff Ingram and Bratton Tucker officiated. Mr. Keeling was born Sept. 28, 1907, in Donelson, TN. He was a salesman. Survivors include his daughter, Anne K.

Pallbearers were Kevin Brown, Mark Mintz, Robin Mintz, Jonathan Mintz and Lynn Simpkions. Crossville Memorial Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. **************** I also searched the archives of the Knoxville newspaper, since the one shown above mentioned Mr. Keeling lived in Knoxville, and found the obituary from that newspaper, which is shown below.
