Eugene KELLER, 86, for many years a resident of Jefferson county, was found dead yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock at his home, 209 East Madison street, following a heart attack.

He was born in Cedar township, Jefferson county, on April 11, 1845 and has spent practically his entire life in this county. His wife preceded him in death fifteen years ago. Since that time he retired and has made his home in Fairfield.

Mr. KELLER is survived by several children: Willis, Porterville, Calif.; Jim, Glasgow; Rubin, Jacksonville, Ore.; Ed, Tyrone, Okla.; Elmer, Knox City, Mo.; Clinton of Detroit, Mich., and one daughter and a sister presidey(err?) of Livonia, Mo. Two sons, one daughter and a sister preceded him in death. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Julia EASTON of this city and the following brothers, Gus of Stockport, Tony, Ed and August, all of Fairfield.

The body was taken to the Campbell funeral home where services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, with burial in the Wright cemetery, 6 miles southeast of Fairfield.

**Eugene was married to Nancy Iowa KIRK (March 2, 1848-September 24, 1915). KIRK is a branch from the BONNETT lineage which I extensively research.**
