UPDATED by E-mail on 01 March 2008
Hello! My name is Brooke Randolph and my mother is the daughter of Cyril Alvin Keeney of Prenter, WV.
I came across your website yesterday and found my grandfather's obituary listed under the June 1986
Keeney Update. In reading his obit, I noticed some incorrect information. I am not sure if this is
something that can be changed, but if it can my family would greatly appreciate it.
His age was listed as 79, but he was 70 at his time of death. Also, my mother's name is listed as Mrs.
Burdis ----, and her name is Mrs. Sarah Hunter. Finally, his sister is listed as Marti Bradham and her
name is Maria Branham.
It was great to find this page. My mother and grandmother are excited to explore the page and find
more information on relatives.

After the 8-page issue in March, there was some question of finance, since postal service required 39c
for each envelope. But you came through. Keeneys are coming out of the woods from coast to coast.
Many thought they were members of a small family. No more!
Some wonder why we don't sell subscriptions. Frankly, we'd have to charge too much for the "old
timers", whose interest is high and income limited. It's those $20 bills from the more prosperous (this
happens about once an issue) that keeps us going.
Continuation of KEENEY UPDATE still depends on news and records contributed by YOU. If it is printed or
neatly typed single-space, its chance of being printed is greatly improved. Pictures of KEENEYS, or direct
KEENEY descendants born before 1900, are much wanted.
