Mr. Keim was a successful farmer who believed in a diversified system of farming in which livestock played a most important part.

Mr. Keim is also survived by four brothers. Henry Keim of Davenport, Jonas Keim of Lawrence, Dr. W.F. Keim of Newark, N.J. and Jake Keim of Addison, Pa.
16 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. Keim started housekeeping near Rockwood, Pa. They came to Nebraska in February, 1886 and purchased a farm six miles north of Hardy. He had difficulty obtaining water for the amount of livestock he wanted to keep, and about 1890, sold his farm and purchased one five miles southwest of Davenport, where he lived for over 42 years.
During the past nine years of his life he made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Eph. Miller 4 ½ miles southeast of Davenport.
He united with Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Davenport, March 31, 1929.
Those from out-of-town who attended the funeral were:
W.E. Lyness, J.E. Russel, Jerome Srb, D.L. Gross,
Mrs. W.W. Burr, Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Newell,
Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Gooding, Wilhelmina Kaler and
