NATHAN KEEVER (deceased) was born in Turtle Creek Township, Warren Co., Ohio, Aug. 6, 1818; he was a son of John and Elizabeth (Rogers) Keever, natives of Pennsylvania, of German descent; he received a limited education and spent his life on the farm, where he died Oct 30, 1880; having been injured in the left arm when quite young, he was unable to do but little of the labor of the farm, but, by his counsel and foresight, the work was prosecuted with considerable success. He was a stanch Republican and held several offices of trust in the county, among which were County Commissioner six years, and Justice of the Peace several years. In the year of his death, he was appointed Receiver of the Miami Valley Narrow-Gauge Railway. He was a man of intelligence and good business qualifications. He was married, Nov. 2, 1858, to Mary J. Monfort, a native of Warren County, and daughter of Arthur Monfort, of New Jersey; they had five children, viz., Elbert M. (Deceased), Merrilla (deceased), Hattie L., Clarence W., and Nellie E. |
