northeast quarter of section 13, township 85, range 21; and again re-crosses into Howard Township to section 18; then gets back into the southeast quarter of section 13, then cuts across west of the east quarter section corner of 13, then crosses the east line of the southeast quarter of section 13 two or three times and gets into the southwest quarter of section 18, township 85, range 23.

Keigley's fork enters the north line of the township at the north quarter section corner of section 5, township 85, range 24; then winds through sections 5, 8, 16, 22, 26 and 36, touching sections 21, 27 and 35. It finally empties into Slunk river a short distance below Soper's mill, and near the center of the northwest quarter of section 7, township 81, range 23. This creek was named, as has been said, for Esq. .John H. Keigley, who settled near it in early times. He was and is yet a worthy citizen. I have known him nearly thirty years in Story County and think I am entitled to an opinion.
