General Notes: Husband - Joseph P. Keller


He was born in Tiffin, Ohio, where he received his primary education, afterward entering Notre Dame University, South Bend, Indiana. In 1884 he went to Connellsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where for about eighteen months he was employed as clerk by the Frick Coke Company. He then went to Mount Pleasant, where he was employed by the same company in the same capacity. In 1889 he migrated to Chicago and while there engaged in business on his own account as a dealer in housefurnishing goods. He took one of his brothers into partnership and together they conducted the business for five years. At the end of that time he sold out and went to Scottdale, Pennsylvania, where he again became a clerk for the Frick Coke Company, remaining with them until 1900, when he accepted the position of teller in the First National Bank of Scottdale. This position he held until 1904, when he resigned and went to Mount Pleasant in order to become proprietor of the Cooper House. He caused the establishment to be remodeled throughout, and it became one of the first-class hotels of the borough.
In 1904 he was nominated for the legislature on the Democratic ticket. He belongs to Lodge No. 777, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Scottdale; also to Modern Woodmen of America and Scottdale Council. He and his family are members of St. Joseph's (Roman Catholic) church.
