1895 DIARY OF CHARLES LUKE KEITH, JR.[1]
While Luke didn’t keep a diary in 1895, or perhaps it has been lost to us, he did make some entries for 1895 in his 1894 diary. The first three entries below were written on the appropriate date with the notation of the 1895 date. The entries under the title of Memoranda were written in the back of his 1894 diary. It was only by doing a search of Ancestry.com that the death dates for Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Warren were found.

Mar 28 – Mr Kelley got his violin March 28 1895 paid 75 cts.
