"Uncle Fletcher was a teacher, always taught Sunday school classes, a very good singer, a store keeper and built canning factories, went broke trying to help poor farmers. I have never heard one bad word about Fletcher Keck. It is said Fletcher Keck treated everyone good. He owned a store in Pettigrew and if he had't extended credit to people there would have been a lot of people starve. They say in business you have to expect a certain amount of bad debt. Some will never be paid, but Fletcher never collected on a lot of bad debts. Fletcher Keck and Gayle (Bough) Haught extended credit to so many people over the years and I think they knew that they would never be paid. If my grandparents needed money for some emergency, Bough Haught always loaned them the money, but I believe that they always paid their debts"-Leota Keck, daughter of Dan and Chloe Keck
