General Notes: Husband - Dr. R. S. H. Keys


When twelve years of age he left home, first entering the general merchandise store of E. C. Roddy, in Upper Middletown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and then worked for his brother, John Keys, M. D., at Bentleyville. Washington County, remaining there several years. He finally entered his brother's office, and after studying medicine and dentistry for about seven years, took his brother's place. He married and continued to reside in Bentleyville until 1862. He was then commissioned lieutenant of Company D, Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cavalry, and went to West Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, but returned to Bentleyville the same year. In the spring of 1863 he came to Monongahela, where he then followed his profession with eminent success. He was a stanch advocate of the principles embodied in the Democratic party, and served as a member of the school board of the city. In religious faith he was a member of the Episcopal Church.
