I've "rescued" an old photograph of B. B. KEISTER of Clinton, Iowa which was taken at the Gilbert Temple Studio in Clinton, IA. The photograph includes the date 1892 appearing to be a photograph from the Class of '92, likely from Cornell College like the other photographs recovered from the same source. Mr. KEISTER appears to be in his 20's at the time the photograph was taken. I am hoping to be able to return the photograph to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi Shelley, I was born & raised in De Witt, Clinton co. Approaching Clinton from the west on the old Lincoln highway (U.S. 30) was a hill called "Keister's hill). The 1885 state census has a household of G.W. & Mary Keister with a 19 y/o son Benjamin B. This is in Lincoln twp. which is the area where the hill is located. The 1895 state census indicates the family has moved to the 3rd ward of Clinton indexed as RUSTER but Benjamin has left the nest. Geo W. & Mary Keister are still in city of Clinton in 1900. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
