History of Greene County, Pennsylvania, By Samuel P. Bates, Chicago, 1888

Pg. 868
GEORGE KEIGLEY, farmer, Waynesburg, Penn., was born in Washington
Township, Greene County, April 8, 1831, a son of George and Anna KEIGLEY
(nee McCASLIN).  They were natives of Pennsylvania, where they were
married and remained in Greene County until their death.  Both departed
this life where the subject of this notice now resides.  March 21, 1869,
George Keigley married Similda J. ROSE, who was born in Guernsey County,
Ohio, March 27, 1845, a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth ROSE (nee
HAINES).  They were natives of Pennsylvania but lived in Ohio until
about 1850, when they returned to Fayette County, Penn., where Mrs. Rose
died in 1852.  Mr. Rose married again and moved to Greene County, Penn.,
then to Fulton County, Penn., where he died November 10, 1887.  To Mr.
and Mrs. Keigley have been born eight children-Laura V., Homer L., Mary
M., Jessie I., Sadie E., Louie, Anna P. and Thomas H.  Mr. Keigley is a
saddle and harness-maker by trade, which he followed about fifteen
years, after which he engaged in the service of his country in Company
F, Pennsylvania Cavalry, and served nine months.  He and his wife are
faithful members of the Baptist Church.
