HUSBAND AND WIFE DIE ONLY FEW DAYS APART. BOTH EARLY SETTLERS.
HENRY KELLER
Henry Keller, formerly a well-known resident of the City of New Ulm died suddenly last Wednesday morning about 5 o'clock at his home in St. Louis Park. For the past 20 years he has been a sufferer from asthma which grew more severe from year to year. The evening before his death he was apparently in as good health as he had been enjoying for some time and the children were shocked to find him dead the next morning.
The deceased was born in Hagebuch, Cariton Zurich, Switzerland, August 13,1842, and was therefore nearly 80 years old when he passed away. He was but 18 years old when he came to this country and settled in Chicago where he became acquainted with Rosa Kiesling with whom he was united in marriage, February 21, 1866. They continued to reside in Chicago until 1874 when the family came to New Ulm and the deceased became a member of the well-known firm of Kiesling, Keller & Co., General Merchants, who were located at the corner of Center and Minnesota Streets. He continued on as a member of that firm until 1885. Shortly after that he became Steward of Turner Hall which position he held until 1898. In 1899 the family removed to St. Louis Park where they have continued to reside ever since. Mr. Keller obtained a position with Monitor Drill Company and worked for the implement firm until about 10 years ago when on account of his asthma he was forced to resign his position.
Ten children were born to the family, of whom two died in infancy and another daughter Sophie, at the age of 17 years.
The surviving children are August Keller of Chicago, Henry of St. Louis Park; Rose Heinebach, (Mrs. Ernest Kiesling) Washington, Elfrieda (Mrs. Frank Rice) Stillwater, Emma (Mrs. William Fischer) of Osseo, Anna (Mrs. Louis Brown) St. Louis Park and Alice (Mrs. Ed. Brown) of Oakdale, North Dakota. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren.
Mrs. Keller underwent an opertion about 7 weeks ago and another on March 31st and her death was momentarily expected and the funeral was delayed until Monday for that reason. Mrs. Keller died half an hour after her husband's remains were started on the way to their last resting place.
The remains were brought to New Ulm Monday and the funeral was held Monday afternoon from the William S. Vercoe home on South Washington Street at 2 o'clock. The funeral was held under the auspices of the A.O.U.W., of which the deceased had been a member for a great number of years. Albert Steinhauser spoke at the house and the remains were laid to rest at the city cemetery.
