Obituary from THE CALDWELL PRESS, July 21, 1887:  "Mt. Ephraim: Died, July
17th, 1887, Mrs. Elizabeth Keller, aged 87 years, 4 months and 17 days. 
After a sickness of only nine days, the angel of death visited her in his
mildest way, from the repose of sleep to the repose of death.  The deceased
was a daughter of Conrad Shafer; was born in London (Loudoun) County,
Virginia, March 1, 1800; came to Ohio with her parents in the year 1813;
was united in marriage to Levi Keller, who survived her, in the year 1820. 
No doubt this was the oldest couple living together in the county.  But
Grandma Keller's death is only another example of the uncertainty of life,
and few were ever better prepared to leave the world than she---upright in
her dealings, genial in her manners, and Christian in spirit, she has
doubtless gone to a better sphere.  (Daylight)"
