Biography
As was traditional in the Key family, he was a great musician and fiddle player. He could play three songs at once and each was distinguishable.
I'm thankful for knowing him, playing music with him. He was a wonderful man that worked hard at and for his religion, The Salvation Army.
William was born in 1904. He passed away in 1980. [1]
