General Notes: Husband - John Keck

---

He was born on the old homestead, south of Greenville, PA, and removed into the village at the time his father purchased the old log flouring mill from the executors of Jacob Loutzenhiser. Soon after attaining his majority he en­tered the employ of William B. Osmon, a merchant of New Castle, PA. When Mr. Osmon died, and Mr. Keck became his suc­cessor in the business, which had previously been removed from New Castle to New Wilmington, and the following year he removed to Georgetown, Mercer County, where he carried on the mercantile trade about five years. In 1845 he came to Greenville to take charge of the business of Vincent, Himrod & Co. From that time forward he was engaged in merchandising for many years. In January, 1882, Mr. Keck was elected president of the Greenville National Bank, which position he filled up to his death. Politically Mr. Keck was a Republican, and filled the offices of justice of the peace and burgess of Greenville, and was also prominently identified with the growth and progress of the public schools. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. [HMC 1888, 803]
