Obituary from THE CALDWELL PRESS, Caldwell, OH, 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)"
