• Documents		Birth- Keigley, Albert and Arthur A pair of fine boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Keigley last Sunday, both of whom are doing well. Double congratulations are now in order, the value of which should not be estimated at less than two cigars each. [From The Rossville Times, Friday, January 1, 1892]
  		Obituary- Keigley, Arthur Obituary. Died, Monday, June 13th, Arthur, infant son of T.A. Keigley, aged 5 1/2 months. The funeral took place Tuesday morning. Brief services were held at the house, after which the remains were taken to the Presbyterian church, where the Rev. J.G. Maver preached a very impressive sermon, using as his text Job XIV:1: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble." He pointed out the fact that the days allotted to man are "few," indeed, whether death comes in infancy, in the days of youthful vigor, or in the season of ripe old age. He appealed to the common history of the human race to testify to the truth that "trouble" is man's common heritage. He admitted that many of God's dealings with the children of men are mysterious, but salutary, being means by which attention is called to and preparation fostered for the state and place of joy for which man's life on earth is intended to fit him. The mourners were directed to "Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." A full choir was present. The hymns selected were fragrant with gospel truth and consolation, and were sung in a way that told of sincere sympathy with those who sat in the gloom that death had wrapped about a sorrowing household. Arthur left behind him a twin brother, whose presence in the family will do much to fill an aching void. [From The Rossville Times, Friday, June 17, 1892]
