William, David, and George Keith, with their sisters Catherine, Ann, and Helen, were younger brothers and sisters of John Keith, and it was at his home they stayed for some time after their arrival. William cleared a farm in the upper part of the township and in later years lived retired near Fergus. He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Simpson, of Shoal Lake, Manitoba. David was a blacksmith in Salem for some years and then was one of the first settlers near the town of Chesley, where some of his family are living. George was a manufacturer in Belleville. Ann was the wife of Hugh Fraser, for many years a shoemaker in Salem; while Helen married Alexander Hamilton and lived near Durham. Catherine was for a time housekeeper for the Rev. Alex. Gardiner of Fergus, and then became the wife of James Walker there. No names in Fergus were more closely associated with its early history, or were more highly esteemed for their large hearted kindness and hospitality than those of Baker Walker and his wife. Their history was the history of Fergus. One of their sons, Mr. William Walker, is a well known resident of Preston. (From ELORA by John Connon, 1931)
