Mrs. M.B. Kellner, one of Arizona's pioneers, died at her home in Venice, Calif. yesterday following a brief illness.
Mrs. Kellner was in her sixty-eighth year and was active until a short time before her death.
Mrs. Kellner was the widow of E.F. Kellner, a pioneer Arizona merchant and trial blazer who died in December, 1914.
The Kellners came to Arizona about 45 years ago and operated a general store and sawmill in the Globe district. Mrs. Kellner also was interested in a cattle ranch in the Tonto Basin and in several mining properties in the Globe-Miami district. The Kellners came to Arizona when Indian raids were common occurrences and Mrs. Kellner, then a young girl, braved the early dangers to accompany her husband to the new southwest. Mrs. Kellner lived in Phoenix 40 years ago.
Her husband opened a store where the Wetzler Arcade now stands. During her residence in Phoenix Mrs. Kellner lived at Jefferson and third streets. The Kellners also owned a ranche west of Phoenix and Mr. Kellner was the first man to sink an artesian well in that section. The early history records that Kellner did not find artesian water but he did find plenty of surface water. He named his place the "Richland Farms." Mrs. Kellner retained considerable property in the Salt River Valley and in the Globe-Miami district at the time of her death. She was of the sturdy pioneer stock that helped build Arizona and in late years after moving to California she kept in close touch with the state. She gave freely of her time and money to "charitable work" in this state but her name was seldom mentioned in the placing of her gifts. It has been said that Mrs. Kellner received practically every paper published in Arizona and spent much of her time following the trend of modern affairs in this state. Until a few years back she made regular pilgrimages to Arizona to visit her pioneer friends and her children who remain ere.
Prior to his death in December, 1914, E.F. Kellner had two caskets build of copper taken from the Old Dominion mine at Globe. It was his last request that he be buried in one of the caskets and the other be stored away for his widow. He was buried in a private mausoleum in the yard of his property at Venice. The body was later removed to a crypt at Rosedale cemetery in Los Angeles.
The body of Mrs. Kellner will be interred in the family plot at Rosedale cemetery.
Mrs. Kellner is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Pollard Pearson of Globe, Mrs. Baxter Lewis of Venice, two sons, Ben Kellner of Los Angeles and E.F. Kellner of Flagstaff, and seven grandchildren, Miss Kellner Claypool and Wood Claypool of Globe, James Frederick Lewis and Frank Lewis of Venice, Kenneth Kellner of Superior and Don and Frank Kellner of Flagstaff.
E.J. Kellner, Jr., was one of the early business men of Superior and at one time was heavily interested in real estate in the mining city. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter Lewis were present at her beside when Mrs. Kellner passed away. Mrs. Pearson left Globe last night for Los Angeles and funeral arrangements will be held in abeyance pending her arrival in California."
