NEILLSVILLE -- Keith Marg, 67, of Neillsville died Tuesday, June 9, 2009, in the emergency room of the Memorial Medical Center in Neillsville. 
 

Keith Walter Marg was born Dec. 25, 1941, in Neillsville, the son of Kurt and Edna (Barr) Marg. He enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school, serving in the Vietnam War. Upon his discharge from the military in 1966, Keith returned home to help run the family business, which was then Marg's Fox Food. They raised fox and eventually turned the business into raising mink and renamed the business to Marg's Fur Food. Later, they would get into the dog food business and become a rendering plant. All the while they were running their business they also farmed on 300 acres of land. After his father's death, Keith took over the daily operations of the business. He retired in the early 1990s.
