Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Keller Family We take pleasure in offering this book to the members and friends of the Keller Family. It comes, not as the rival of any other work, nor is it the product of any individual's ambition. It is a history of the family, by the family, and for the family. At the third reunion, held in 1899, the historians, Dr. Eli Keller and Amos Keller, were advised to consider the subject of preparing a family history. At the fourth reunion in 1902, unanimous action was taken to carry out this purpose. Dr. Eli Keller was requested to prepare the manuscript. Amos, Joseph A., Reuben, Elias and Samuel Keller and J. A. Welsh were appointed a committee to assist in gathering material for the history; and Albert D., Joseph A., and Reuben Keller were named as a committee for its publication. This action was decisive, it pointed out the way. Naturally much work would fall to some, and little to others; but those who did the most have the greatest joy, for it has been a labor of love. We bear witness to the kindly affection and unselfishness with which services have been rendered. We are glad that so much concerning the character and experiences of our ancestors has been put in form for the use of later generations. May it inspire them to do well their work in life, and prove themselves worthy descendants of a worthy ancestry!
