Yes these are the sons of Joseph Keim. The Keim Cemetery (or burial plot) is in one corner of a quarter section of ground that was owned in the early 1900's by the Jacob Keim listed below. I have listed the children of Joseph and their spouses at the end of this e-mail. Joseph was a brother of my gg-grandfather David Keim.
