*Note about burials in Pioneer Cemetery: Pioneer Memorial Cemetery in San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, CA., is an extant (still in existence) burial place for the early settlers in the city. The cemetery was founded in Apr. 1857.
Remains of area pioneers previously interred at the unmarked Seccombe Lake Cemetery were relocated to the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery.
On Jan. 23, 1830, Nathan Keller and Drucilla Boren were married in Union county, IL., according to IL. Compiled Marriages for 1791-1850.
*Paragraph from Nathan's son, Francis Marion Keller's obituary:
Francis M. Keller was born in the year 1845 in Illinois. Coming west he journeyed with others over the plains in ox-team, stopping at Salt Lake for a year or so, and then coming on to California and reaching San Bernardino in the year 1856.
-And a second tribute to Nathan's son, Francis Marion Keller, reads:
And again we see the boy, now 12 years of age, who in 1856, with his parents, settled in old San Bernardino not far from the home that has been his for these more than 40 years.
*The above two paragraphs appear top suggest that Nathan was still alive in 1850. (?)
Researching to find Nathan's year/date of death.
*Nathan's wife, Druzilla married second, Benjamin VanLeuven, on Dec. 2, 1856 in San Bernardino, San Bernardino, CA. - so it would seem that Nathan died in between 1850 and 1856.
Nathan's son, William Carlin Keller's obituary states:
"Carlin Keller traveled with his parents by ox team from Illinois to El Dorado county in 1851, coming down the coast later, arriving and settling near Old San Bernardino in 1852."
Once again, it seems that William's father, Nathan Keller, was still alive at least as late as 1852.

Nathan Keller was born Apr. 6, 1810 in Jonesboro, Union county, IL., and died 1848 in Shirtses Branch, Pottawattamie county, IA.
In abt. 1830, he married Druzilla Boren in Jonesboro, Union county, IL.
Druzilla was born Nov. 27, 1812 in Jonesboro, Union county, IL., and died Jan. 31, 1880 in San Bernardino, San Bernardino county, CA.
I do not have a source or record, which I would prefer to have before changing his death date and place. Perhaps this information will help you find an answer as well.
In the Bio... the reference to the burials that were found in the Park. Yes, there were 13. There were several studies done to identify the remains. The current historian for San Bernardino does not list Nathan as one of the 13. Nor is Nathan Keller listed as living at the Fort San Bernardino.

My 4th great-grandmother, Agnes Love Flake (who was married to James Madison Flake) is listed on the Fort map. She was ill and most of her time at the Fort was spent at the home of Amasa Lyman. On the fort map, you see a slash for Widow Flake/George Garner. George Garner owned the land just outside the Fort. It was Called Garner's Swamp before it was part of the Park. It was when the City was adding baseball fields to the park that the burials were found.
Hope this adds some information as to where to look for further information where Nathan Keller died and his burial.
