THOMAS J. KEYS
Thomas J. Keys, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cornelius Keys of this city was
accidentally shot in the forehead last
Friday evening while handling an
old twenty-two rifle; the ball evident
ly penetrated a part of the brain for
Tommy did not regain consciousness
after the accident. It was thought
for a time that he would recover but
pneumonia developed and he passed
away on Monday morning at nine
o’clock.
The accident occurred at the Cor
nelius Keys home one mile west of
O’Neill.
An inquest was held Monday after
noon in the Biglin undertaking par
lors. The verdict of the jury in sub
stance was that the deceased came to
his death by reason of a certain rifle
ball and that the death was purely
accidental.
The fact connected with his death,
as near as can be learned, are that
Tommy had gone to bed as usual but
had gotten up later and secured an
old rifle and had sat down by a win
dow; the assumption is that he heard
some peculiar noise coming from the
vicinity of the chicken house, which
could be seen from the window; he
had put on a pair of trousers and
sweater over his night clothing; it is
thought that the rifle was discharg
ed when he stood it in a corner.
Thomas Keys was born in O’Neill
Nebraska, October 4, 1892, and was
38 years, 4 months and 6 days old at
the time of his death.
He served in the World War for
two years with actual service in
France where he was wounded in the
battle of the Marne. Since his dis
charge from the service he has lived
with his parents.
Besides his parents he leaves two
brothers, Cornelius J., Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and Patrick, O’Neill;
also one sister, Miss Mae, O’Neill.
Funeral services were held from
St. Patrick’s church at nine o’clock
I on Wednesday morning conducted by
! Father B. J. Leahy. The American
Legion, of which the deceased was a
' member, escorted the remains to the
j church and later to Calvary cemetery
j where their comrade was given mili
j tary honors at the grave.
MRS. ANNA JOYCE
I _
Mrs. Anna Joyce, one of the early
I settlers in Holt County and north
! east Nebraska died on last Saturday,
February 7th, at St. Joseph’s hospit
J al in Omaha following an illness of
about three weeks.
Mrs. Joyce and her husband, Wil
liarn, hail spent almost fifty-eight
|of their years together, rearing
a splendid family, when in August,
11929, he died. The shock of his pass
ing, coupled with her advancing
years took heavily of her strength.
She had not been feeling very well
and about three weeks ago was tak
en to Omaha for treatment; while
there in the hospital she developed
pneumonia from which she died.
Mrs. Joyce, whose maiden name
was Anna Stanton, was born in Coun
ty Mayo, Ireland on the 5th day of
May, 185(>. When a child she was
! taken by her parents to Scotland,
from which country they later mi
grated to the United States. In Ohio
she met William Joyce and at
Youngstown, in that state, on Nov
ember 27th, 1871 they were married.
In April, 1875, from Youngstown,
Ohio they came west and settled in
Holt County on a homestead about
5 miles northwest of O’Neill There
were but few settlers here at that 1
time; it was the day of the pioneer;
the day of hardship, privation, cour
age. Possessing the attributes o f
wife and mother in abundance, Mrs. j
Joyce was not discouraged by the j
suffering of the pioneer. Upon this
homestead her children were born;
there they were raised and there she
and her husband remained until about
twenty years ago when they retired
and removed to O’Neill.
To them were born seven children,
Mary, Ann, Grace and Thomas J., of
O’Neill; Agnes and Margaret, of Chi
cago, and Mrs. George Shoemaker.
All of her children survive to mourn
her passing excepting Mrs. George
Shoemaker; three grand children,
Russell Shoemaker, Leonai'd Shoe
maker and Sister Georgella of Stella,
Niagara, New York.
r uneral services were conducted by
Monsignor M. F. Cassidy at St. Pat- ,
rick’s church on Tuesday morning.!
That beautiful edifice was filled with
fiiends paying their last mead of re
spect and devotion to her memory.
The pall bearers were C. C. Reka,
Edward Early, E. F. Porter, W. C.
Templeton, B. F. Naughton, Thomas j
Donlin.

ette, Indiana, .January fi, 1847. She

^ | I C Poultry flocks have been a big source of revenue on
A lit i 1 I vt vJJL the farm during the last few years. On account of
the low price for which poultry and eggs are now selling, this source of income is greatly reduced. It
is the purpose of the Robert C. Moore Stores at all times in exchanging merchandise for eggs and the
products of the farm to try and pay the price at which such products can be sold. In other words, we
undertake to accept the products of the farm as cash for our merchandise.
It might be that if everybody would eat more eggs and use more eggs and poultry for the table
that the over supply could be consumed and result in an increased price for poultry and poultry pro
ducts.

FREDERICK KILTZ
.
Frederick Kiltz was born in Erie,
Pennsylvania, July 15, 1854. He lived,
there until thirteen years of age, at
which time he moved with his par-:
cuts to McHenry County, Illinois. In
1880 he married Miss Addie Perkins,
of Union, Illinois. The couple made
their home at Union until 1886. In
the month of April of that year they
moved to Nebraska and settled on a
farm near Chambers. That has been
their home ever since.
Mr. Kiltz has been affiliated with
the Kellar Presbyterian church since
1889.
ins wue ana iour cniiuren survive
to mourn his passing. Nettie Ruth
died in infancy; a daughter, Mrs. T.
E. Alderson; two sons, Clyde E. and
Clarence L. Kiltz, live within a few
miles of the home place; Burton F.
Kiltz, the third son, resides at Still
water, Oklahoma; a brother, Samuel
Kiltz, at Los Angeles, California;
fourteen grand-children and four
great grand-children also survive.
Mr. Kiltz lived to the age of seven
ty-six years, six months and twenty
one days. He passed away quietly,
without illness, in his own home, on
February 5th, 1931.
With the passing of Mr. Kiltz, 1
Holt County in general, and the
Chambers community in particular,
loses one of its early settlers and one
who in every way helped in the de
velopment of the new country to
which he came in 188b.
Living on a homestead, along with
other early settlers, he and Mrs.
Kiltz helped in developing the school
and churches and were to be counted
on for everything that was worth
while and would count for good.
Having united with the Presbyter
ian church in 1889, he was one of its
leaders and always helped to build it
up and keep it going. In fact, as he
was a carpenter, he really did most
of the work in building the church
edifice, so that the Kellar church
may be called a monument to his
memory.
He taught in the Sunday School
and served as trustee of the church
for many years.
Last fall Mr. and Mrs. Kiltz cele
brated their golden wedding anniver
sary, at which all their children,
grand-children and great grand
children were present, also his only
living brother; many other relatives j
and a great number of friends were I
present to honor their fifty years of
married life.
Having lived a full, active and
worth while life, God called him to
his Heavenly Home, to dwell forever j
with Him.
