Notes about Wesley E. Keith


History of La Porte County, Indiana
Chas. C. Chapman
Pg 797-798

Wesley E. Keith was born in this county July 7, 1833, and is a son of Lewis and Nancy A. Keith; was reared on a farm; Feb. 10, 1859, he married Miss Sarah E. Perrine, daughter of Peter W. and Elizabeth Perrine. She is a native of Belmont county, Ohio. They have 2 children: Elizabeth F. and Schuyler C. He is engaged in farming and stock-raising on sec. 14, and owns 147 acres of valuable land.

Lewis Keith, deceased, the father of the above, was born March 22, 1801, in Huntington county, Pa. His grandfather came from Holland to America about 15 years before the Revolution, and settled in New Lancaster, Pa. Here he engaged in the smithing business for many years, until his father and grandfather moved to Huntington county, where his grandfather died. The latter had served as a blacksmith in the Revolutionary war. His father was a blacksmith and farmer, and married Maria Heade, by whom he had a family of 12 children. In 1811 Mr. Keith removed with his father to Ohio, and July 6, 1832, landed in La Porte county, and built a cabin on the same land he owned up to his demise, May 28, 1879. He was married three times, and was the father of 13 children, 9 sons and 4 daughters, all living and married. When the Keiths first settled in this county the Indians were numerous, and at times they would gather around Mr. Keith's cabin window and watch the family eat, and express great wonder at the style in which white people ate. Mr. Keith labored hard in clearing up the underbrush on his land, and in otherwise preparing the way for the prosperity of future generations. He was a consistent Christian, and a worthy member of the M. E. Church for 60 years. He was an indulgent husband and an affectionate parent. His storehouse of love was always full, and he endeared himself to all who knew him. He gave freely to the support of the missionary cause and other benevolent enterprises. He first sought the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things were added. He was eminently successful in business, and gave his children about $-20,000.
