days. He was one of the best known
men of Paint township, having been a

married life was spent on farm one
mile north of Boston. After leaving the
farm they resided in the village OF Bos.
ton two years and then purchased and
moved to the farm on which he died
and lived for 81 years. He was an hon
est, hard working man, good citizen,
an obliging neighbor and kind in his
family. His children are Oscar, of Car.
mel, Newton, of Hillsboro, Miss Annie,
at home, and Mrs. Elizabeth Selph, of
Covington, KY. During the married life
of Mr. and Mrs. Keelor, of nearly fifty
