    1. [PADAUPHI] KEISTER
    2. Looking for any one that is searching the KEISTER name. I am looking to find John B. KEISTER, I believe he resided in Dauphin Co. Pa, Harrisburg area. He was married to Catherine JUDY, (born June 1830) and had 4 children. I found a John B. KEISTER (age 50) in the 1860 census in SW Middletown Dauphin Co. Pa, Catherine was not listed with him. Listed is John J. (age 8), Ann M. (age 4) and Leah Neiman (age 31). Ann M. could be Minnie that I found in the 1870 census Middletown Boro, with Catherine, age of Minnie 14. Others listed; William (age 13), Sherman (age 5) & Harry (age 2). I don't know when John died, according to the Harrisburg, Pa Directory 1887-1890, Catherine was a widow. According to the 1900 census 3 of her children were deceased, she was enumerated with her son Harry in Harrisburg City. Catherine was still alive in 1910; she was 80 years old. I also had a search done in New Castle and they have no record of her death. I am trying to locate when & where they are buried. I have contacted the numerous cemeteries in the Harrisburg area and the response has been negative. Any suggestions as to where to go now will be greatly appreciate. Thank you Shirley
