Posted on Findagrave.com: Mrs. Delilah Keller was born in Greenup county, Ky., July 17, 1813, and died in Hazelton, Kansas, Monday Aug. 3d, 1891, aged 78 and 19 days. She was stricken with paralysis about 11 a.m. Aug. 2d, and in a short time became speechless and remained in that condition until death relieved her of her suffering. She had been unusually strong and active for one of her age, and her sudden fatal illness was a surprise to her son J.R. Keller and family, with whom she had made her home here during the past four years. Funeral services were held at the residence by Rev. J.H. Fly, at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and her remains were interred in Rose Hill cemetery, where many friends of the family congregated to pay the last sad token of respect that can be rendered unto a fellow being. Mrs. Keller had been a member of the Baptist church for many years, was consistent, kind, industrious, and loved by all her acquaintances. She was married to Francis Keller in Greenup county, Ky., Jan 28, 1830, and was the mother of 15 children, 12 of whom survive her and reside in different central and western states; her husband died in 1880; her grand-children numbered 75 and great-grand-children 35; four sons served four years each in the union army and returned safely home, of which she was always proud. The family moved to Ohio in 1834, and from there to near Kirksville, Mo., in 1865, where they resided until 1883, then came to Kansas—Hazelton (Kans.) Express. Weekly Graphic. Kirksville, Missouri, August 14, 1891.

Burial - Rosehill Cemetery, Hazelton, Barber County, Kansas.
