My father was born in Fairbury, Nebr. He had no middle name, in fact none of the 3 boys born to George Edgar Keyser and Clara Electa Keyser, had middle names. Val and his brothers along with their mother all went to Lincoln, NE after finishing the 8th grade and went through High School at Lincoln University High School. This qualified for them for entrance into the University of Nebraska. Val and Alvin went to the college of Agriculture and Harry went to Law school. Alvin majored in Agronomy and became a teacher in that field at Colorado State University. Harry graduated from Law school and located and practiced in Boise, Idaho. My dad graduated from the Ag College and specialized in Horticulture, taught at the college for a few years. When grandfather Keyser died dad left the University and started an orchard in Nebraska City area. This is where he met and married my mother. He suffered a back injury, which made it it impossible for him to continue work at the orchard and had to sell the orchard in 1926 to a man by the name of Richard Kimmel. Mr. Kimmel ran the orchard for many years and it now belongs to the State of Nebr. My dad moved into Nebraska City, was secretary of the Nebr City Chamber of Commerce for a number of years, did supervisor work for the Otoe County Canning Factory there. Helped teach workers the correct method of pruning trees in their cherry orchards etc. After many years of chiropractic treatment his back got better and he felt he could handle Orchard work again. He took a job managing Orchards in southeastern Nebraska for ex-Governor Weaver and a man by the name of Ned Towle. together they owned about 300 acres of land all planted with apple trees. He and my mother moved to and lived at one of the orchards at a farm east of Shubert, Nebr. My father died in Nebraska City while visiting Aunt Emily in 1957. It was, of course, after that when my mother moved to live with Aunt Emily in Carl's (Carl Willie Stahlhut owned a house in Nebraska City for a while) house. Mother died in 1976 at the age of 92 just a month before her 93rd birthday. They are both buried in Nebr. City.
