Biography reproduced from page 530 of the History of Kossuth and Humboldt Counties, Iowa published in 1884:

Edgar P. Keith was born March 6, 1853, in Johnstown, Rock Co., Wis. In 1881 he came to Kossuth county, settling on section 9, owning the north half of the northwest quarter of section 9, and the south half of the southwest quarter of section 4. He also owns another quarter section adjacent, which he intends to make a stock farm, having already a good many Short Horn cattle, brought from Rock county. The Upper Des Moines crosses his farm; also, Lindner’s creek. He was married Dec. 25, 1873, to Louisa M. Wood. They have three children—Lyman Wood, Harry W. and Flora. Mr. Keith is sub-director of the 5th district, and president of the board. In politics, he is a republican.
