Hey Susie,

i noticed there is a William Keith who is the right age (and who was born in Illinois) on the 1870 census for Richardson, Nebraska.

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#birthPlaceId=14;p=recordResults;givenName=william%20walter;birthYear=1860;birthPlace=Illinois%2C%20United%20States;searchId=43243651672442910000;searchType=standard;surname=keith

Name: William Keith
Estimated birth year: 1860
Gender: Male
Age: 10y
Race or color (expanded): White
Birth place: Illinois
Residence: Township 1, Range 14, Richardson, Nebraska, United States
Collection: 1870 United States Census

The head of the household appears to be Zed Keith (age 48 in 1870, born in Kentucky), with (probably) wife Louisiana (age 41 in 1870, born in Pennsylvania).

Also in the house are Mary (21), Jacob H. (19), Zeph F. (18), John (13), William (10), Mary (11) [two Marys -- odd, unless one is not a sibling], Louisiana (8), Samuel (6), Edward (2), Sarah A. (6 months). All children born in Illinois except baby Sarah A., who was born in Nebraska.

If you think this might be your William Keith, then this thread may be of interest:

Good luck!
