| Abstract | Josef Keller (1820-1902) was born at Talheim, a village now in Baden-Würettemberg, Germany, the son of Valentin and Maria Fluck Keller. He married Johanna Schurhammer in 1843, probably in the parish church at Blumenfeld. They had fourteen children, 1844-1865. Josef's half brother immigrated to the United States in 1854, and the members of the Josef Keller family followed, 1867-1881. Josef immigrated in 1876, after his wife's death. The family settled first in the area of New Berlin, Sangamon County, Illinois. Some later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio; South Bend, Indiana; and elsewhere. Josef Keller died at New Berlin at the home of his daughter, Kreszentia. Descendants lived in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and elsewhere. |
