52 Ancestors 2015 Week #3 - Catherine Miller

Catherine is my 4th great grandmother


Catherine Miller was born on 26 Nov 1811 in Plainfield, Pennsylvania to Henry Miller (1784-?) and Susanna (1786-?).  Catherine was the third child of seven:

  • Abraham (1809-?)
  • Daniel (1810-?)
  • Benjamine (1814-?)
  • Henry (1816-?)
  • George (1823-?)
  • Sarah (1824-?)
Catherine married Charles George Keller (1816-1878) on 31 Jan 1836.  They had ten children:

  • Elizabeth Sarah (1834-1911)
  • Lucy Ann (1836-1873)
  • Benjamin Franklin (1838-1863)
  • Sarah (1839-1918)
  • Jacob E. (my 3rd great grandfather; 1843-1931)
  • Phoebe Alice (1846-1934)
  • Caroline (1848-1922)
  • Rebecca M. (1852-1919)
  • Frances (1854-1935)
  • James (1863-1929)
I have little information on Catherine's wherabouts until 1880 when she appears in the federal census living in Spring Grove, Wisconsin.  In January 1906, Catherine took a fall and moved in with her daughter, Sarah.  The following year in April she moved in with daughter, Caroline.  Catherine died on 17 Dec 1907 at age 96.  Catherine is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Brodhead, Wisconsin.
