NOTES:

1. Keith died in Dallas Texas and is buried with his first wife in Crestview Memorial Cemetery, Wichita Falls, Wichita, Texas

2. His first wife as Sally (Crofoot) Penney like the article says. His 2nd wife was Mary Louise (nee Champion) Norby. Mary Louise Champion's first husband was Harvey Myron Norby.

3. As far as I know, Harvey is still alive (2010) and has a 2nd wife, Phyllis.
