Keller Family Cemetery
Middlebourne, Tyler County, West Virginia, USA
Story told to me by a Keller relative is that sometime after the farm had been sold out of Keller hands, the family that owned it pulled up the stones and used them in a barn foundation. That barn was struck by lightning and burned down, nothing but the foundation remaining. Another barn was built on this foundation. IT also was struck by lightning and burned down. For a third time, the barn was rebuilt on the same foundation, and it too was struck by lightning.
After this the family tore out the headstones and scattered them in the fields. To this day only one has been found, that of Permelia Keller, consort of Adam. Will ask where the stone ended up...
