Daughter of Jacob J and Amy (Jones) Westfall. She was their first born child and only daughter of 7 children. Born in Union City, Champaign, Ohio.

She married on March 8, 1854, Thomas G. Brown in Champaign County, Ohio, who was about 14 years older than her. In the 1860 census in Urbana, Champaign, Ohio, she is living with a family as a boarder, job is listed as seamstress. It does not list if she is widowed, married or single, but she is listed with her married name of Brown. Unknown if he died or what became of the marriage, and it is believed no children were born or survived.

On Jan 2, 1880 she was united in marriage with Edward Aretus Keim in Abilene, Dickinson, Kansas. He was 15 years her junior. No children to this union.

They farmed in Kansas for sometime, then returned to Nebraska to farm in Jefferson County. It is believed that they moved there because one of her brothers, Michael Blue Westfall was in the area.

Photo (attached) looks as though Ed may of had health problems since he appears to of had a stroke or other health issues. This photo we believe was taken in late 1890's or 1900.
