General Notes: Husband - Jacob Keck

---

He was born in Baden, Germany, on the River Rhine and received a common school education in his native land, and also obtained a good knowledge of the French language. After coming to Butler, Pennsylvania, he took a course in English under a private teacher. He learned the cabinet-maker's trade in Butler, Pennsylvania, to which place he immigrated in 1850. In 1860 he started in business for himself, and conducted a growing trade until 1883, and from the beginning up to 1892 he was also extensively engaged in the undertaking business. From 1877 to 1883 he carried on a book and stationery store in connection with merchant tailoring. In 1869 he was elected a justice of the peace, which office he filled continuously for over forty-one years. He was a member of the borough council several years, served on the school board for the same period, and was secretary of the Workmen's Building and Loan Association, which position he filled five years. In politics, he was a Democrat, and one of the active members of his party. Beginning in 1850 he was a member of the Lutheran church, and liberally supported that organization.
