Mich., when she was a little girl. Later she was engaged in kindergarten work in New Orleans and for a number of years was in the dry goods business in New York with her brother, G. C. Keyl.

For the last twenty years she had resided in Decatur. She and Max R. Scheiter were married here Aug. 21, 1900.
