DIED: At Carson, Washington, April 14th, 1901, Mrs. Susannah Keller
Mrs. Keller had almost completed her 77th year, having been born in May, 1824. She was born in Pendleton County, West Virginia, where she resided with her parents until she was about 19 years of age, when she removed with them to Burlington, Iowa, where she was married in 28 July 1853 to Jacob Keller, who died in 1869, leaving Mrs. Keller to support a family of three children, her three other children having died prior to the death of Mr. Keller.
Mr. and Mrs. Keller were thrifty people and had accumulated quite an amount of property in the state of Missouri, where they lived at the breaking out of the Rebellion, but lost all of it on account of being Northern sympathizers, Mr. Keller being a soldier in the Union Army.
Nine years ago Mrs. Keller came to Skamania County, Washington, with her only surviving child, Mrs. Henry Olmstead, with whom she has lived for the last twenty-one years. She leaves five grandchildren, the two daughters and one son of Henry Olmstead, of Carson, Washington, and two sons of P.J. Hibbs, who reside in Colorado.
Mrs. Keller was a member of the Dunkard Church. She had a long experience as a pioneer, having settled at Burlington, Iowa, when it had only a country store. Soon after marriage she removed to the wilds of Missouri, then into Western Iowa, and finally with her daughter and family into the wilds of Skamania County in Washington where she died of jaundice, which attacked her at an age then the system was unable to repel the advance of the disease. She bore her last suffering patiently and was always very thankful for comforts and favors extended to her by the loving hands of her daughter and family, and for courtesies extended by neighbors.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Olmstead and family wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to friends and neighbors who rendered assistance during the illness and at the death of their beloved mother and grandmother.
