General Notes: Husband - Aber D. Keister

---

He was educated in the public schools of Franklin township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was engaged in farming after he completed his education until he was twenty-three years of age, and for thirteen and a half years he was employed in the iron mills of McKeesport, Pennsylvania. In this city he owned a one-third interest in the Chisholm Heating and Plumbing Company and was active in its management for one year and a half. In 1895 he moved to Carnegie, Pennsylvania, establishing a plumbing and heating concern, and was there engaged independently, the subsequent twenty years witnessing a gratifying expansion and the upbuilding of a generous patronage. Mr. Keister's other business interests included serving as a director of the Carnegie National Bank, the Anchor Building and Loan Association, and the Masonic Hall Association. He was a member of the Protected Home Circle, and in the Masonic Order belonged to Lafayette Lodge, No. 652, Free and Accepted Masons, and Cyrus Chapter, No. 280, Royal Arch Masons. He was an Independent in political action, and he and his wife belonged to the Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder.
