"When Mrs. Keller, aged 69 stood and repeated this well known verse from the 23rd Psalm during the process of the prayer meeting at the home of Dr. Agnes Noble of 51 Riverside Ave., Wellsville at 10:30 Tue morning, she
knew not how close she was to fulfillment of this passage.
No sooner had Mrs. Keller resumed her seat than she was seen to suddenly grow pale almost falling from the chair. In 10 minutes she was unconscious. Drs. Agnes Noble and Maurice Tarr were summoned. The prayer meeting was discontinued. Medical effort proved futile and in half an
hour Mrs. Keller was a corpse. The attending physicians state the death was due to a stroke of apoplexy. Remains of the unfortunate lady were taken in charge by the McLean Bros. Undertakers and removed to the family home, 5th and Broadway. Mrs. Keller is survived by her husband,three sons and a daughter. She was a devoted Christian and a member of the First Presbyterian Church. Funeral arrangements have not been concluded".
Margaret died only three months and 12 days after the death of her son Leroy at age 32 from a combination of tuberculosis and gangrene from and unsuccessful hip operation. This sad event may have weighed heavily on
her heart.


"Funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Keller, who died suddenly yesterday morning, while attending prayer services at the home of Dr. Noble will be held from the family residence on Broadway Friday at 2:00
PM. Rev. Dr. William G. Keager, Pastor of the 1st Presbyterian Church will officiate. Mrs. Keller fell sometime ago and fractured her hip. She was unable to stand or walk without the use of a crutch. On this account she remained seated instead of kneeling.


Margaret Ann Seaton's father and one or more of his brothers immigrated from Co. Donegal, Ireland in the 1830s. Margaret's father had died in 1857 and her mother died in 1864, but had lived in Kilgore, Ohio.

Margaret married Robert Keller Dec. 4, 1872 in Lawrence, Douglas Co., Kansas.
They left Kansas and returned to Ohio in the 'grasshopper year,' having endured four years of Kansas experience.
They settled in Kilgore, Carroll County where Margaret's family had lived and later moved to Wellsville, OH. The Kellers were known to be "Presbyterians and Democrats".
