James S. Keith of Knights Landing, for the past three years in the general merchandise business, and formerly a prominent livery stable man, died yesterday morning at 5:30 of dropsey with which he had suffered for more than a year.
On account of the rain and flooded conditions and the fact that the cemetery at Knights Landing is surrounded by water, the question of his funeral has not been decided.

He reached Yolo County when a boy and was but 19 years of age when he located at Knights Landing. His first employment was in a livery stable, and he was a wage earner there for ten years, at the expiration of which time he became the proprietor of the business, every detail of which he had mastered, and he conducted it successfully for twenty-five years. Three years ago he purchased the general merchandise store of J. R. Shaw, and was conducting it with the assistance of his sons, who are still in charge, up to the time of his death.
April 24, 1881, Mr. Keith was marriage to Miss Katie Donovan, a native of New York. They were the parents of five sons and two daughters, Roy, Harry, Herbert, James, Jr., Aubrey, Vera, and Ilene. He is also survived by two sisters.
