Obituary from an unknown newspaper, date unknown, photographed from an Obituary Book at the City Library in Indianola, Warren County, Iowa, USA:
Wilson F. Keller was born June 13, 1885 in Warren county, Iowa, near Lacona, and departed this life August 24, 1913, after a lingering illness of typhoid fever.
He was the eldest son of John F. and Jennie Keller. He was united in marriage to Ferol Willets, April 3, 1907. To this union were born two children, Harold, who died in infancy and Doratha.
Mr. Keller before his death expressed his belief in immorality and his readiness to meet his savior. He was a kind husband and loving father. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, and daughter, mother, father, three brothers and two sisters, together with a host of relatives and friends. Sometimes we cannot understand why one so much needed on this earth should be called away but God in his infinite wisdom knoweth all things and we can say Thy will be done, and feel that our loss is his gain.

A precious one from us is gone,

A voice we loved is stilled.

A place is vacant in our home

Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has recalled

The boon his love has given,

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in heaven.
