Obituary notes for Silas Bucher Keller
29 April 1926: Silas B. Keller, young man, aged 28 years, passed away on Monday night at 11:00 o'clock, as the result of injuries sustained in an accident on Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Mr. Keller was the proprietor of Keller's garage, of near Cornwall, where he also made his residence. On Monday afternoon, he was testing a motorcycle after it had been repaired. To do so, he was traveling on the motorcycle on the road towards Lebanon, when he lost control of the vehicle, which upset, and Mr. Keller was thrown to the Highway. The young man was taken to his home, and the Good Samaritan ambulance was summoned. He was admitted to the Good Samaritan hospital this city, shortly after five o'clock where it was found he was suffering from a fractured rib. Later in the night, he developed internal complications, and an internal hemorrhage, which resulted in death. Neighbors and friends are extending to his wife, and three small children, Ada, Ruth, and Naomi, sympathy and help. Those who survive besides his wife, Amy and three daughters are his father, Monroe Keller of Iona; six brothers, Wayne of Millbach, Mark and Paul of Buffalo Springs; Christian of Iona; Ammon and Titus of Midway; one sister, Mrs. Abraham Zeigler of Richland. The late Mr. Keller was a member of the Brethren Church of Midway. He purchased the garage, which he owned at the time of his death, a year ago, and was making excellent progress. Before that time, he was employed on his father's farm at Iona. [Lebanon Semi-Weekly News]
