George "Ed" Keyser
Death of Ed Keyser
George F Keyser, generally known as Ed Keyser, died at his home near Bower
Friday, December 15th, 1905. His sickness extended back for twelve weeks when a
severe cold settled on his lungs producing pneumonia. About four years ago, he
had a similar experience from which he recovered but with his lungs in a
weakened condition.
Mr. Keyser was born in Sunapee, New Hampshire, May 30, 1847, where he lived
until 1868 when he moved to Baraboo, Wisc. There he remained until the spring of
1869 when he came to Nebraska and in August homesteaded the place which remained
his home until his death. He was married in 1873 to Miss Clara Bower, a sister
of Mrs. S.M. Barnes.
Deceased leaves a wife and three sons, Alvin, an assistant professor in the
State University, Harry, a student in the same institution and Val living at
home.
The burial occurred Saturday morning in the Bower cemetery, a short service
being held at the house. C.F. Steele spoke a few words and one of the sons read
a favorite poem of his father's. These were all the services desired by the
deceased.
Mr. Keyser was favorably known by a large circle of friends who will mourn his
loss. As a husband and father, faithful, generous, loving and kind; as a
neighbor ever willing in trouble to extend a helping hand; in business strictly
honorable and up right. Morally all that a man could be. A man who always took a
deep interest in the welfare of the community in which he lived, which was
strongly illustrated by his words of encouragement and good advice and kindness
to the children with whom he came in contact and he understood them all.
His life was a model of unselfishness, self denial and self-sacrifice. As a
farther illustration of his fine feeling and tender sympathies, we have but to
refer to one of his last requests which was "bury me beside my mother."
