James Keller's Death 
The death of Mrs. Bettie Keller at Georgetown,  Saturday, recalls to the 
minds of many of our citizens the death of her husband  James F. Keller and her 
son, Frank, in 1890.  Mr. Keller was in charge of a  string of horses from this 
county which had been racing at Latonia.  The  celebrated Huntress was in the 
bunch.  A train of 13 cars left Latonia for  Kansas City.  Mr. Keller decided 
at the last moment to take his son with  him as a pleasure trip.  Their car 
was the second from the engine.   Near Warrenton, MO, the draw bar pulled out 
of the car that was next to the  engine, which necessitated transferring that 
car to the rear of the train, this  putting Mr. Keller's car next to the 
engine. 
 At an early hour in the  morning in a dense fog there was a head on 
collision, Mr. Keller and his son  were killed while asleep.  All the other men 
in the car were killed, with  the exception of a colored handler of horses, 
Mose ______ who now lives in  Cynthiana.  The horses were all killed outright 
or so badly hurt that they  had to be destroyed.  No other persons in the train 
were hurt.  The  bodies of Mr. Keller and his son were brought home for burial 
and the funeral  was from the Smith House, then owned by W. W. Smith and wife, 
"Aunt Liz" Mr.  Keller, mother.
