The Keener family was amoung the oldest settlers of Taylor county, and one of the most noted in the early history of this section of Western Virginia. Samuel Keener was born on the old Keener homestead near Fetterman in 1792, and followed the pursuit of a husbandryman practically all of his life. His issue, the oldest of which was living at the age of 64 years at the time, had the body of this patriarch interred in the old Keener cemetery on the hill along the Northwest Turnpike just back of the present residence of Dr. E.
