Keys-Torn – June 22, 1940, Oklahoma City, OK

Second Member of Quadruplets To Marry June 22

Hollis, Okla. May 31 (1940) – The Keys quadruplets are about to lose a second member of their famous quartet via the wedding route.

Announcement has been made here that Roberta Keys will marry Roland S. Torn of Canton, Tex., June 22 in the First Baptist church in Oklahoma City.

The first of the quadruplets, who were born here 26 years ago next June 4, to be married was Mona. She became Mrs. Robert W. Fowler of Oklahoma City last June 18.

Mrs. Fowler; Miss Leota Keys, speech instructor at Baptist Academy, San Marcos, Tex.; and Miss Mary Keys, teacher in the Edmond high school, will be members of Roberta’s bridal party. Their nieces, Nancy and Doris Ann Keys, Paducah, Tex., will be junior bridesmaids.

The quads are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Flake M. Keys of Oklahoma City, former residents of Hollis. They graduated from Hollis high school in 1933 and later from Baylor University., Waco, Tex.

Roberta’s husband-to-be is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Torn of Taylor, Tex. He is a graduate of Texas A. & M. college and is rural rehabilitation supervisor of Van Zandt county, Tex.

Roberta, who looks like her identical twin, Mona, caught the bride’s bouquet at the latter’s wedding last June. Before her wedding the quads had never been separated for more than a week.

Roberta has been head of the public music department of the Canton high school during the past year.

The quads who will re-assemble at their family home in Oklahoma City this weekend for the first time in several months, will begin the rush of wedding preparations the following week.
