PASSING OF A PIONEER
In the death of A.J. Key, which occurred at his home four miles west of town late Saturday afternoon there passed from our midst one of the communities oldest citizens in point of years of residence, one who had lived an upright life among us for nearly forty years.
Andrew Jackson Key was born in South Carolina May 7, 1853, and died June 21, 1919, aged a little more than 66 years. He came to Texas in 1881 and had lived on the farm where he died since 1882. He possessed the true pioneer spirit, and set about to build for himself and family a home in what was then a veritable wilderness. In his younger days he was a man of extraordinary physical strength, and by reason of this fact exposed himself to more hardships than was good for his health. As a result his health had been failing many years, disease finally laying its' hand so heavily upon him that death came to his rescue. Besides his wife, to whom he was married before he came to Texas, he is survived by the following children: William, Charles, George, John, James, Frank, Pleas, all of whom live in this vicinity except Charles who lives in Oklahoma City, and James who resides near Kemp, Texas: Mrs. J.M. Blackwell, Leonard; Mrs. Geo. Kelly, Mansfield, Texas; Mrs. Lexie Sinor, Pryor, Okla.; Mrs. Dolly Evans, Leonard; Mrs. Anna Gaugh, Trenton.
Mr. Key was a member of the Methodist Church and the funeral was conducted by Rev. R.L. Keen of that denomination, burial taking place in the Shady Grove Cemetery at 3 o'clock. A man of sterling worth and undoubted integrity has passed to his reward, one whose example of industry and rugged honesty might well be emulated.
Andrew married Sarah Elizabeth Mangum on 5 Apr 1873 in South Carolina. Sarah (daughter of John Campbell Mangum and Dorcus Ann Cotton) was born on 29 Nov 1854 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina; died on 10 Oct 1947 in Leonard, Fannin County, Texas; was buried after 10 Oct 1947 in East Shady Grove Cemetery, West of Leonard, Fannin Co., Texas.
