Mother Laid Tenderly Away
Funeral Service on Sunday are Largely Attended
The funeral services of Mrs. R. Keller were held at the Christian Church last Sunday and were conducted by her former pastor and friend, Rev. Robert Lewis, of Linden, Iowa. The church was filled to its capacity, friends from all around being present to pay the last tribute of regard to one whose memory is suggestive only of kindness, affection and of good deeds beyond number. Rev. Lewis spoke feelingly from Psalms 119 and 19: "I am a sojourner in the earth: hide not Thy commandments from me." The music was by a special choir.

After ten years of wedded life in Ohio the family came to Iowa arriving here in December 1880. The first winter was spent with Mr. Henry Ayers in Mills County and the following spring Mr. Keller settled on the place, three miles east of Carson still called the Keller farm and now owned by Bert Bolton. This was their home until after Mr. Keller's death which occurred October 13, 1895. Mrs. Keller afterward left the farm and with the exception of a short residence at Linden, Iowa she has made her home in Carson.
At the age of eighteen she was converted to the Christian faith and was a member of the Baptist Church.

In the words of her pastor "She was a true and faithful wife, a good watchful, careful mother, a kind and sympathetic friend and neighbor. Always true to her religious faith and convictions. She will be greatly missed by many in this life, but greeted by many dear ones in the next".
The loved remains were laid tenderly to their long rest beside those of her husband in Carson Cemetery.
