Billy Keel
Birth: Abt 1883
Death: March 17, 1923

Billy Keel, a Chickasaw Indian, died at his home west of Stratford shortly after the noon hour Saturday, March 17, 1923.

Billy was unfortunate to fall into the fire and was burned considerably about six weeks ago, this along with poor health and old age is due to his death.

Billy's age has never been learned but it is in the neighborhood of 70 or more.

Billy leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters all living to mourn his death.

Billy was a particular Indian in some ways, but a good scout. He was smart, no man's fool. He was liked by all who knew him.

The remains were laid to rest in the Keel burying ground Sunday afternoon conducted by Bro. W. U. Godwin.
