***OBITUARY     "The useful, long and honorable life of David KELLER came to a close on Monday, when that venerable gentleman passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Owen MOTHERSBAUGH, near Boalsburg. his last illness, which was really nothing more than a decline had its beginning a year, to the very day, before his death.
"Mr. KELLER was a son of Jacob and Mary Elizabeth KELLER and was born at Cedar Springs, Jan 21, 1819. When only a boy his parents moved to the vicinity of the Red Mill, in Potter Twp., where David grew to manhood.  He taught school; followed his trade as a cabinet maker and dealt in horses for a number of years. Soon after his marriage to Miss Margaret SHINNEBARGER he settled down in the vocation of a farmer and located on the old Shinnebarger farm, which is now mostly covered by the village of Boalsburg.
"From that place they moved to what is now the Campbell farm at Cedar Creek, thence to Oak Hall, where with his brother Henry be bought and operated the foundry for 3 years. Tiring of that work very quickly and longing for the peaceful contentment of the farm again he bought the farm on which the fish hatchery is now located at Pleasant Gap. For 15 years the family resided at that place, then they moved back to Boalsburg, which was the home until just a year ago when illness made it necessary for Mr. KELLER to go to the home of his daughter.
" His surviving children are William D., of Lemont; Ephriam K., of Pleasant Gap; Mrs. Elizabeth MOTHERSBAUGH, of Boalsburg; George S., of Houserville, and Dr. U.S.G. KELLER of Warren, IL. One brother, Daniel of Warren, is living.
"Deceased was a life long member of the Reformed Church, a man whose character was above reproach and his life a blessing to those about him.
"Interment will be made in the cemetery at Boalsburg, this morning."
