Keeves has been, must<br \/>\n\tneeds be told in your columns to stimulate and strengthen other noble spirited women<br \/>\n\tby her example. Mary V. Wilson was born Mary c, 1833, in the state of Virginia,<br \/>\n\twhere she lived with her parents until 1854, when she married Anthony S. Keeves<br \/>\n\tand lived with him until May, 1898, when he was called to his Maker. It was said<br \/>\n\tof him: &quot;Amid the temptations, trials and vicissitudes of his long career,<br \/>\n\the kept untarnished and unsullied the bright escutcheon of his knightly honor.&quot;<br \/>\n\tHe said of his wife many times: &quot;All that I am I owe to the counsel and companionship<br \/>\n\tof my wife.&quot; Their forty five years of association was not as naught. Men live<br \/>\n\tlives of credit and are lauded, but women who have lives of strenuous effort and<br \/>\n\tsucceeded in doing their duty by their home and surroundings go almost unnoticed.<br \/>\n\tPerhaps it is because the effect of their efforts is seen only in another, who gets<br \/>\n\tthe credit as being self made. Be that as it may, women, like Mrs. Keeves, will<br \/>\n\tgo on undaunted, with an unselfish devotion, something akin to godliness, in their<br \/>\n\town quiet noble spirited ways, uplifting, purifying and strengthening mankind. &#8212;<br \/>\n\tSavannah Reporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date of Death: 11 Jan 1903 Subject: Mary V.
