JACOB C. KELLER, farmer, P. O. Ruddel's Mills; traces the genealogy of his family back to the early pioneers of Bourbon County; his grandfather, Abraham Keller, came from Maryland to Kentucky in an early day and settled in Bourbon County; his son Solomon, and father of our subject, was born in 1803 in Ruddel's Mills Precinct; he followed the business of his father, that of farming and distilling. Jan. 7, 1840, he was married to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of John Kiser, of Bourbon County. Mrs. Keller was born March 8, 1809, and has during her life been a resident of Bourbon County; previous to this marriage, however, Mr. Keller had been married, and had a number of children, three of the sons being in the Confederate army during the late war; Jackson S. was killed, George A. returned wounded, Solomon A. was shot down in cold blood after his return from the war, he being at the time but a boy of sixteen years. By his last marriage Mr. Keller had a family of twelve children, only four of whom are living, viz: Isaac, Mattie B., Jacob C., whose name heads this sketch, and Rebecca A. Mrs. Keller, the mother of Jacob C., has a fine farm of 300 acres, which is attended by her sons. Jacob C. is an enterprising, industrious young man, who has made the most of his opportunities for self improvement, and is a worthy representative of so hardy a race of pioneers as were his ancestors.
