New Ulm Review April 26, 1922
HUSBAND AND WIFE DIE ONLY FEW DAYS APART. BOTH EARLY SETTLERS.
MRS. HENRY KELLER
Only half an hour after the funeral party had left St. Louis Park with the remains of Henry Keller for burial in New Ulm. Mrs. Rosa Keller, Henry Keller's wife, passed away at the University Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Monday morning at 9:30. She had submitted to an operation March 10 and again on March 31 and had undergone severe suffering ever since, and death certainly came as a relief to her.
The deceased whose maiden name was Rosa Kiesling, was bon March 19, 1847 in Oschwatz, Kingdom of Savoy, Germany. She came to America with her parents in 1852, first settling in Chicago where they lived intil 1855, when her father who was president of the Chicago Landverein, and who had as much to do with the founding of the City of New Ulm as any one person, came to New Ulm with his family. She was here during the Indian Massacre and was rendered material assistance in caring for the sick and wounded in those trying days.
She was a splendid woman. To her husband she was a pillar of strength and to her children a most devoted and sacrificing mother. She was a true friend and a good neighbor and will be sorely missed, not only by her children, but by all those who had the pleasure of becoming intimately acquainted with her.
Ten children were born to the family, of whom two died in infancy and another daughter Sophie, at the age of 17 years.
The surviving children are August Keller of Chicago, Henry of St. Louis Park; Rose Heinebach, (Mrs. Ernest Kiesling) Washington, Elfrieda (Mrs. Frank Rice) Stillwater, Emma (Mrs. William Fischer) of Osseo, Anna (Mrs. Louis Brown) St. Louis Park and Alice (Mrs. Ed. Brown) of Oakdale, North Dakota. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren.
The deceased is survived by an only sister, Mrs. Minna Berndt and a half sister, Mrs. W.S. Vercoe of this city. Her brother Rudolph died December 9, 1921 and her only other brother, William, died in Chicago, December 23, last year also.
Her remains will be brought to New Ulm Wednesday evening and the funeral ill be held from the Vercoe residence Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and interment will be at the City Cemetery.

Note from S.Hemingway: I did not find stones for the 3 other people who are said to be buried in the plot #167: Eleanor, Pauline & daughter Sophie.
Elenore would be the granddaughter of Henry & Rosa Keller...
New Ulm Review newspaper reports:
"Eleanore Keller who died May 27, 1896 was the young daughter of Mr. & Mrs. August Keller. The Keller family was visiting in New Ulm, MN when little Eleanore died. The New newspaper reported she was buried in New Ulm."
