My great-grandmother was Indiana Cooksey who married
Samuel Keely in Brookville, Indiana in 1862. They
later came to Kansas (between 1884 and 1887) Her
sister, Sarah, who married Thomas Keeler also came
here. I don't know if they came together or if Sarah
and Thomas came later. They had a son, Robert, who
is buried in Union Cemetery at Winfield, Kansas along-
side Samuel and Indiana Keely. Sarah and Indiana's
parents are Isaac and Caroline Cooksey of Brookville.
Isaac was born 25 Sept 1826 and died 1 Oct 1904. His
obit is in the Brookville Democrat, Oct. 13, 1904.
I don't know much about the Keelers, but you will find
them listed in the 1860 census for Franklin County,
Brookville, Ind. There are three families listed at
household #368, 372, and 385. I believe all are
related. Charles and Hannah and family are #372.
In the 1880 census Thomas and Sarah are at household
#353, same county and twp. I have never followed up
on Sarah Keeler. She was living at Hudson, Kansas
according to Indiana Keely's obit in 1922.
Let me know if I can be of more help.
Sincerely,
