• Notes

  "known only as 'Keith'." Crandall says he knew him all his life and nev er knew his first name was Chester until preparing this genealogy. From "The Melia Family", Kay Melia his first cousin and boyhood close friend: Keith was my buddy for many years. Our first 17 years were spent within a mile or two of each other. We were in 4-H together, played high school sports together, rode horses together all over the country.--- Keith Married Charlene Swayze, a member of a prominent Bucklin family, had a couple of beatuiful daughters and farmed hard for many years. He also contracted M.S., and died at the age of 66 in Bucklin." Crandall Added--Keith was one of the most loved people in Bucklin. He volunteered for about every charity event that came up and served on work committees and was always there when someone needed help. I remember when we were visiting back in Bucklin, in a rental car, and slid off one of the muddy country roads into the ditch. It was Keith, on his way to a banquet in his suit, who came with his four wheel drive pickup and pulled us out so we could go to the banquet also. He was well known for always having a smile on his face and a quick willing helping hand.
