Crawfordsville Journal Review 19 June 1953 - John H. Keeling passed away at the home of a
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Esther Keeling in Veedersburg Indiana at 12:20 Friday morning June
19, 1953, following an illness of several years. Mr. Keeling was born in Veedesrburg April
8, 1877 and was the son of Sidney Shipman Keeling and Milton Keeling. He was married to
Dora Payton who preceded him in death in 1936. He spent his entire life in Fountain
County. After Mrs. Keeling passed away Mr. Keeling lived with his children but home was at
Herschel & Esther's. Few children give their loved ones greater understanding and
loving care than Esther gave Mr. Keeling. Mr. Keeling's suffering was great but when
he wasn't suffering it was a pleasure to hear him relive a well lived life. Surviving
are two daughters, Maxine George and Freda Lynch; six sons; Paul; Cash; Kenneth; Leslie,
John and Robert; a sister, Mrs. Effie Warrick; and a brother William, 32 granchdildren
