15 Oct 1967 is correct date per SSDI. My typo. Regarding Jessie Keith.
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. Jessie is a woman. She is the wife of Peter Ruth.
William J. Keith and Maggie did live with Peter and Jessie until both died, and that was in the early 1900's. However, being guests in the Ruth household, the enumerator, perhaps didn't bother to include them in the census.
Now you see my dilemma.
I am sure there are obituaries for both somewhere in LA, but without a date of death, I'm stonewalled. I don't know if LA County has a master death index.
William J. Keith and Margaret (Maggie) Duke were married on 21 Feb 1873, in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. I don't know if the marriage record shows parents or not. Let alone roots. But, Butler County won't allow access to the document unless you are a son or daughter. They do have the record though. That's confirmed.
