KEETON, HEZEKIAH J.
Death of H. J. Keeton
In the course of weekly happenings it is seldom that the Press is not called upon to chronicle the passing from this shifting scene of life of some good citizen. This week is no exception to the rule
Hezekiah J. Keeton died at his home in San Angelo on Thursday, Jan 23, at 4 o'clock p.m., after an acute attack, following a long period of feeble health.
The remains were interred in Fairmont Cemetery at 3 p.m. Friday, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends, who gathered there to attest for the last time, their love and respect for the departed. Rev. A. L. Barr, of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, conducted the funeral services. The pall bearers were Judge Milton Mays, F. J. Adams, J. T. Thompson, S. Roach, Ed Duggan and Sam Pollock.
Mr. Keaton was a native of Alabama, where he was born about 78 years ago. While yet young he removed to Texas, and at the beginning of the Civil war dedicated his life and fortune to the cause of the Confederacy, which he served until the surrender at Appomattox. About twelve years ago Mr. Keeton removed with his family to San Angelo. He was a good citizen respected by all who knew him, and a devoted consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
Eight years beyond the allotted term of three score and ten he had lived when the summons came which was but a call, "from labor to refreshment" for his life had been such as to entitle him to hope for entrance into that blessed home of "just men made perfect" through faith in the Redeemer of mankind, and the loving wife and children, who survive him, mourn not as those without hope. They sympathy of the community is theirs in their sad bereavement. (The San Angelo Press, San Angelo, Tex, Jan 29, 1902 )
