SAMPLE BIOGRAPHY OF WALTER THE ARCHITECT

 Walter J Keith was born on August 17,1867 in Minneapolis Minnesota.  His father Dr. Goarge Hacket Keith who was 42 and his mother Hanrietta Pearson Jewett was 24.  Walter married Nella Yerxa on June 4,1888 in Hennepin Minnesota.  Walter and Nella were proud parents to Chester woodfor Keith, Roland Jewett Keith, Evelyn Jewett Keith and Priscilla Keith.  They lived in Pasadana Los Angeles, California in 1930.  Walter then died in Los Angeles on April 5th,1951 at Glendale Los Angeles, California.

This is still a workin progress.  But this is what I've found so far.  Much more could be added to it.  I'm trying to make it so all event's go in order.  

Please leave comments if you have any questions regarding the HISTORY CENTER OR PROJECTS.  I'm happy to answer them.

PROJECT UPDATE

I have been working on researching this architect Walter J Keith for the past month I would say.  I have been getting lots of information.  And have found a family tree, date of births and death dates.  I'm hoping to find a living relative.  But not a whole lot of luck with that.  However, I have been able to find a biography of Walter which is pretty interesting.  I've also been working on rewriting his house plans he wrote.  It's been a challenge figuring out what some of the pages say.  The first page of the plans look like they have been burned and water damaged.  I'll be sharing the biography and more updates soon.  So stay tuned!
