This post was contributed to the Crawford County Chapter of OGS by Kristina Stearley as part of the Florence Siefert Scrapbook in 2010.
The scrapbook is compiled from undated, unidentified newspaper clippings involving events in the lives of Crawford County citizens living in or having connections to New Washington, Tiro, Shelby, Sulphur Springs, Chatfield, Bucyrus, Ashland, Mansfield, and other areas. Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks. This collection has been scanned, “optical character recognized” (OCR’d), proofed, then coded for HTML by volunteers of the Crawford County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Since the copies are not of the best quality errors may have been made. Please contact us if you find corrections needing to be made or can verify any missing dates which could be added.
Daniel Keller was born in Lancaster County, Pa., Sept. 4, 1823; died Jan. 25, 1895. The deceased moved to Ohio with his parents when he was four years old, settling near Massillon, Ohio. In 1836 they moved to Crawford county Cranberry township, Ohio, on the farm where the deceased lived until he removed to his home in Tiro. His father’s home was a place for preaching the Gospel before there were any churches erected. He was the last one of the old Grandpa Keller family. Funeral services were held at Good Will last Sunday, conducted by Rev. T. L. McConnell.
