Keith died suddenly from heart failure last Thursday afternoon while driving an automobile on Maple Street in Monticello. His brother-in-law R.F. Goss of Delhi, was sitting beside him. Mr. Keith has been talking to Mr. Goss and suddenly stopped in the middle of a sentence. Mr. Goss noticed that the automobile began to wobble from side to side, and before he could stop it, it had crashed into an electric light pole and stopped. Mr. Keith must have died instantly. He had eaten a hearty meal at noon and was apparently in the best of health. Lloyd L. Keith, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William V Keith of Hopkinton, was born in that town August 28, 1894, and was therefore 29 years of age at the time of his death. He was married to Miss Helen Swanson at Cedar Rapids April 7, 1918. Two children were born to this union, Mary Elizabeth, four years of age and James William, two years of age. Shortly after his marriage in April, 1918, Mr. Keith entered the United States army, where he spent four months in a southern camp. During the past three years, Mr. and Mrs. Keith had lived in Monticello. They also lived at Perry for a time. Recently Mr. Keith had been a fireman on the way freight between Monticello and Calmar. He had been in the railroad service since 1912, and had passed examinations for an engineer two years ago. He had always been in the employ of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. He joined the Masonic order in Monticello last February. In addition to his wife and two children, he is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.V. Keith of Hopkinton, and four sisters and three brothers viz: Frank, of Marion; Earl, of Minneapolis: Ivan, of Hopkinton: Mrs. Hazel Sweppy, of Webster City: Mrs. Clara Bullis, of Nashua: Miss Ethel Keith, of Hopkinton, and Mrs. Mabel Fleming. The funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon at the family home in Monticello at 2:30 o'clock. They were conducted by Rev. Albert E. Coe, the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Masonic order also took charge of a portion of the service at the house and the ritualistic work was given by Past Master E.E. Reed. Final services at the grave were also in charge of the Masonic order assisted by the Arthur P.O'Rourke post of the American Legion. Volleys were fired over the grave and the bugler for the local legion post blew taps.
