NOBLE COUNTY LEADER, 11-7-1923, Caldwell, OH:  KELLAR REUNION
   "For the fourth time the descendants of the original Kellar family, of
Mt. Ephraim, (Levi and Betsy Kellar) recently gathered in a family reunion,
accompanied by friends and neighbors.  The place, as in the past, was the
orchard of Homer Gibson, which is where Grandfather Kellar entered the
land, and where his son, Dr. John Kellar, spent his entire life, living to
an advanced age.  He and his wife, Sarah Ann Kellar, were the father and
mother of a good sized family, the most of whom with their descendants were
present, viz: J.W. Kellar and family of Senecaville; Shafer family of Mt.
Ephraim; the J.H. Sayre family of Caldwell, the R.S. Conner family of
Cumberland, and the Homer Gibson family of the old Kellar homestead, all
four ladies being daughters of Dr. Kellar and wife.  Other friends present
were of the Gibson family of Newark, and the Vorhies family of Ryesville. 
The Kellars have been long lived people which gives those now living reason
to think they may have many reunions in the future.
   They are happy ocassions, mingled with sad memories, thinking of the
days when some loved ones could be with them who for varied reasons cannot
be now and never again can be with them on earth, but they have hopes of a
meeting in the beautiful land beyond where parting never comes.
   Together with the dinner which all enjoyed to the utmost, conversations
were much enjoyed as well as the informal talks which were given by a
number of different persons.  The number present was eighty-six."

Note: This Keller family of Noble County has spelled the name with an "E"
so this must be an error on the part of newspaper.
