Looking for information on any of the Keller family that was in Crawford Co. from 1900's to 1980's. Is any of the family still around there? Believe that there was a Grover Keller that lived in Robinson in the 1950's, is he buried there and who did he marry? Were there any children if so what were their names and who did they marry? Thank you, Kate Keller Bourland
