N4851!Sources 1. Keeney Update - January 1994 THERE IS SOME CONTROVERSY ON ELIZABETH MARTHA'S BIRTHDATE ONE SOURCE SAYS 28 FEB 1811 Reprinted from & published in the Keeney UpDate Volume VI, Number 2 May 1989 HISTORY OF WARREN C0. , IA 1987, p. 713,718 Rev. Samuel Thomas Keeney The Rev. Samuel Thomas Keeney was born February 21, 1818 near Crawfordsville, IN. He was married to Elizabeth Ethel Kessler February 2, 1848. Soon after their marriage, they came to Iowa in a wagon. It took them three weeks. They settled on some land near Carlisle. Like his father and grandfather, he was a minister in the Regular Baptist Church. His grandfather, the Rev. John Jonathan Keeney, was born at Keeney Knob, WV. His father the Rev. John An-thony Keeney was born at Jefferson City, TN. His mother, Mary Hannah McGloathlin, was born in Greenbrier Co., WV. They were known to be a religious family. Both parents are buried in the Avon Cemetery. Not much is known of Rev. Samuel's early life to the writer, except for his ministry, visiting the sick, comforting the bereaved and performing marriages, as he traveled by horseback or buggy. The first tax he paid was for $.40 in 1850 for taxes in 1849. The writer has most of his paid tax receipts up until the time of his death December 11, 1900. Also the family Bible bought in 1856. Soon after his death, Elizabeth went to live with her son, Elmer and family. She told of the time, when Rev. Samuel was gone, two Indians came. They opened the door, came in and sat down on chairs. The oldest son, Benjamin, was a tiny baby. She was sure they had come for him. She took a tea towel, wrapped up some freshly baked bread and other food and offered it to them. They accepted it, said "Ugh" and left. Elizabeth was a devoted Christian. A custom of the Baptist Church was the "Washing of the Feet" at their June meetings. This was a very meaningful way of worship for her. She passed away July 29, 1912 while visiting her son George in Anthony, FL and is buried there. The Rev. Samuel and Elizabeth Keeney were the parents of nine boys. 1. Benjamin Kessler was born November 28, 1848, died December 3, 1912 and is buried in the Carlisle Cemetery. His wife was Martha Elizabeth Randleman. 2. John Franklin was born December 29, 1850. He died January 20, 1850 and is buried in the Avon Cemetery, Polk Co. IA. 3. George Krysher was born February 19, 1852. He died October 8, 1935 and is buried at Anthony, FL. His wife was Lydia Goforth. After her death he married Addle Caroline Connell. 4.

Zion Cemetery, Oakley, Lucas, Co., IA. His wife was Clara Belle Smith. 6. Nathaniel Frances was born December 21, 1860. He died March 4, 1890 and is buried in Avon Cemetery.

Samuel Perry was born February 2, 1866 and died February 12, 1950. He is buried in Redlands, CA. His wife was Belle Eggers. 9. Elmer Ashley was born September 10, 1868 and died June 10, 1941. He is buried at Liberty Center, IA. His wife was Eliza Savilla Smith. The oldest and youngest sons, Benjamin and Elmer, were the only two of the boys that established their homes in Warren Co. ~~ By Ethel Keeney Borchert Buried in Avon Lake City Cemetery
