Indiana Obituary, June 9 2008
Keim, A. H. - Died, January 6, 1897,
A. H. Keim of Lima, Indiana in the 34th year of his age. He was
born in Owen County, Indiana, on September 22, 1863 and died at
Maniton, Colorado, whether he had gone to regain his health. His early
life was spent on his father's farm, near Brighton. Of recent
years his home has been with his mother of Lima. He began his
individual career by teaching school, which profession he followed for
several years. He then became a canvasser, following this
occupation at interval during the remainder of his life. He was
first stricken down with a fever last May, while at Rochester,
Indiana. He returned home soon, but several months of home care
found his physical condition without material improvement. In
September last he sought relief in the mild rare atmosphere of the
mountains of Colorado. But this failed to strengthen and
invigorate him. His strong constitution preserved him until 3 to
4 week previous to his death when he began to fail rapidly, and
especially was this true during the last week of his life. He
died before his friends could reach him. His nobility of
character is attested by all with whom he was acquainted. He was
reserved yet affable, economical yet charitable, a true son and
brother. He was of a cheerful disposition and always had a kind
and encouraging word for everyone he met. In a business way he
was moderately successful. In a moral and religious way he was
found on the side of right and truth. He was a member of but one
organization, Star in the West Lodge, L.O.O.F. of LaGrange,
Indiana. The funeral services were held at his mother's home in
Lima, on Sunday last at 1 o'clock p.m. conducted by Rev. Coffman of
LaGrange. His remains were deposited in the family cemetery, near
Brighton. In the death of Mr. Keim, LaGrange County loses one of
its sterling young men, respected by all who knew him. (Source:

Keim,
Charles E. - In the loss of Charles E. Keim, the schools, the
family and the community, the Sunday School and the Epworth League and
the Church share. Mr. Keim was a beautiful character whenever
you saw him, in social or family life, in his school and in his
religious work he exhibited those traits of gentle strength which
endeared him to all. He was born in LaGrange County near
Brighton, Ind. on April 13, 1868. After a course in the Brighton
public school, he taught a district school when only 17. A short
time was devoted to illness followed by a course in the Lima High
School, graduating in 1890, and from the Indiana State Normal School 2
years later. For 3 years he taught the high school at Newport,
Indiana. On account of failing health he resigned his school work
and gave his endeavor to regaining his health. He united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, February 14, 1893 and most beautifully
exemplified the spirit of Christ in his life. He died of
consumption on May 3, 1897. A very large concourse of friends and
acquaintances attended his funeral at the home farm, Thursday, May 6
and the interment at the Brethern church. His life, poured out in
blessed fragrance, will long linger in our memories. As he
followed Christ, we will follow him. (Source: LaGrange Standard Paper-

"GEORGE R. KUNCE DEAD" "Another Old Soldier Answers the Last Roll
Call." George R. Kunce, a soldier in the war for the nation, died
early Tuesday morning, about half past two o'clock, at his farm home in
the Brushy Prairie neighborhood following an invalidism of fourteen
years, the result of valvular heart desease. While his condition
was serious all of the time, he was able to be up and around and
attended to business almost until the last. He was one of the old
soldiers attending the annual soldiers' and sailors' picnic at the
Mount Pisgah grove, held on Saturday, August 23, that being his
seventy-seventh birthday. Mr. Kunce was born in Huntington
county, Indiana. He came to LaGrange county forty-two years ago,
locating in Springfield twonship, and had owned the farm on which he
died nearly forty years. He leaves a widow, two daughters, Mrs.
Clark Cornell of Huntington and Mrs. Sherman Chalmers of Larned,
Kansas, a son, Charles A. Kunce of LaGrange, and a step daughter, Mrs.
Thomas Hockensmith. His funeral was held on Thursday afternoon at
half past two o'clock at the East Springfield church, with a sermon by
Rev. Leroy W. Kemper of Fremont, former Methodist Episcopal pastor of
the South Milford circuit, and burial was made in the nearby
churchyard. Mr. Kunce enlisted in Company F of the unassigned
guards, in the Civil war, and received his honorable discharge in May
following the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomattox. Mr.
Kunce was a man of industry and integrity. He was interested in public
affairs and in politics was a strong and sturdy Republican. He had the
courage of his faith, but was thoughtful and generous with his friends.
He was intensely interested in the Mount Piagah reunion and never
failed to attend the annual meetings, if his physical condition would
permit it. His neighborhood and his county lost a man of character and
worth when he died. Note from Submitter: George R. Kunce is the
