Bio: Drummond, Adeliza Keller [Ripley]Mrs. Drummond Dead On Saturday morning, January 11, 1913, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. F. Bostick, Mrs. Adeliza Keller Drummond passed quietly into the great beyond. She was the daughter of Ammon and Pamelia Ripley, deceased, and was born near Patriot, Ohio, August 11, 1837, being at the time of her death 75 years and 5 months of age. She was married August 9, 1855 to Robert N. Keller who lived twenty-two years, dying August 14, 1877. To this union were born seven children one whom preceded his mother to the grave, Rev. John Keller, February 9, 1901. Six children are living to mourn the death of a good mother. Those living are Mrs. Mary Tipton, Mrs. Anise Cheatwood, Mrs. Bird Evans, Mrs. Grace Bostick, all of this county; Calvin in Payette, Idaho, and Alton in Pineville, W. Va. She professed religion at a very early age and while in her girlhood united with the Salem Baptist Church. Later on she removed her membership to Sandfork Baptist Church, where she has remained a faithful worker until the time of her death. Being left a widow with seven children, the youngest of which was two and one half years old, hers was a hard lot indeed to care for them through the many trails and vicissitudes of this life. How well she performed this task the many substantial homes erected by her children abide as a living monument to her memory. Her second marriage occurred June 6, 1888, when she became the wife of Thomas Drummond of this county, who died October 21, 1907, since that time making her home with her daughter, Mrs. D. F. Bostick. She leaves a brother, Oliver Ripley of Texico, New Mexico, two half-sisters, Nancy Jane and Ann Edler, six children, thirty-six grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren to her affliction without a murmur and always looked to Jesus daily for his guidance. Her life especially during her illness was, is and will be a blessing to all who were permitted to be near her. She had been in failing health for some years past being confined to her bed a great portion of the time. The poor worn frame will never more be reached with the agonies of pain, her suffering is at an end. All that mortal hand could do was done to alley her suffering here. The great Physician is now administering to her wants. May we all live here that we may join hands on the other shore where there will be no more pain, no more shedding of tears.[Note: She was buried as Adeliza Keller]The Gallipolis BulletinThursday, January 23, 1913Transcribed by Debbie Carter EvansKeller, Mrs. Robt.
