General Notes: Husband - George Osmon Keck
He received a common-school education, and afterward attended Girard Academy and Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, and for a brief period taught school in West Salem Township. In September, 1862, he enlisted in Capt. Wood's company, One Hundred and Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and after serving five months was discharged on account of sickness and inability to continue in the service. In 1864 he purchased the interest of his uncle, Henry Keck, in the firm of J. and H. Keck, and the firm became John Keck & Son. He continued business in Greenville, and afterward East Palestine, Ohio, up to within a short time of entering the private banking firm of Achre, Wick & Co., in 1872, which was afterward merged into the Greenville National Bank, of which he was assistant cashier and book-keeper, and also one of the directors up to his death.
He was a Republican in politics and a member of the G. A. R. He served on the school board from June, 1885, up to July, 1887, when failing health compelled him to give up the duties thereof. He always took a deep interest in the growth and progress of the public schools, as well as in the social and material development of the town. He died in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with which society he united in 1870. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was buried with Masonic honors.
