He worked hard and with indefatigable industry to clear his land, and lived there until a few years before his death in the full enjoyment of a well-earned repose after labor. He then sold this property, and retired to Sharpsville, where he died at the age of sixty-three. Mr. Keith was a believer in Republican theories of government and held a number of the minor township offices. He married a daughter of John Young, Susan by name, and she bore him these children: John; Elizabeth; Jacob, who was slain while fighting on the Union side in the Second Battle of Bull Run; Benjamin; Susan; Margaret and Mary, twins; Eva; Rebecca and Michael. The mother of these children died at the age of eighty-six.
