Mrs. Tacy Clair Keller was born in the town of Alfred, January 18, 1845, and died in Alfred, N. Y., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lute Emerson, July 22, 1926.
She was the seventh daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Clair.
Early in life she was baptized and united with the Hartsville Seventh Day Baptist Church where she retained her membership to the time of her death.
On January 1, 1862, she was united in marriage to William Harrison Keller and went with him to make her home on Hartsville Hill, where they lived many years. To this union were born seven children, two of whom died in infancy. Those living are Mrs. Nellie Willard of Hornell, N. Y.; Mrs. Olie Emerson of Alfred, N. Y.; and Clair of Shinglehouse, Pa. She is also survived by one brother, David Clair of Glenwood Hill, N. Y.; and one sister Mrs. Delilah Hardy of Andover, N. Y.; three half sisters, Mrs. Walter Ormsby of Alfred Station, N: Y.; Mrs. Alice Vance of' Pittsburgh, Pa., and Mrs. Charley Austin of Alfred Station, N. Y.; and two half brothers, Leonard Clair of Alfred, and Will Clair of Nile, N. Y.; three grandchildren, Clyde Willard of Alfred Station, N. Y.; Mrs. Margaret Larkin of Almond, N. Y.; and Kathleen Keller of Shinglehouse, Pa.; one great-granddaughter, Kathryn Larkin.
While Mrs. Keller was devoted to her home and family and cared little for the more public activities of life, she was ever ready to respond to the call of need in homes of sickness or sorrow, and her faithful ministries on these occasions won for her the affectionate regard of a large circle of friends.
Since Mr. Keller's death, January 13, 1922, she has been in gradually failing health, often longing for the time to come when she could go to the home of happy reunions.
Funeral services were conducted from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lute Emerson, by Pastor Van Hom of Alfred Station, and the body was laid to rest in the Alfred cemetery.
