The second photograph is identified as Beck KELLER and was taken at the A. E. Rinehart Studio in Denver, CO. This photograph was taken in the 1880's with Beck appearing to be in her 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding these KELLER Family members:
Myra Burbridge KELLER was b. 16 Oct 1885 in Lexington County, MO to parents Meyer KELLER (1863-1885 died before Myra was born) and Emma B. BURBRIDGE (b. 1864) who were married 20 May 1884 in Lafayette County, MO. Her mother remarried after the death of her first husband to Matthew Fleming MYERS (1851-1909) and they had a son, Shannon B. MYERS (1889-1917).
Myra married Donald Gray KEELER (1884-1967) on 31 Dec 1908 in Los Angeles County, CA. Myra died 5 Dec 1973 in Los Angeles, CA and is buried in the Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, CA.
Myra’s father Meyer KELLER had a sister Rebecca “Beck” E. KELLER b. Aug 1853 in Pennsylvania to parents Marx or Mark E. KELLER (1838-1892) and Mary Amelia or Emilie or Amelie SCOTT (1827-1889). Meyer and his sister Beck were two of the 10 children born to this couple including Hannah “Anna”; Isadore or Isador; Rebecca “Beck” E.; Pauline K.; Samuel “Sam” S.; Augusta “Gussie” Ester; Hattie; Tilley; Meyer; and Abraham “Abe” or “Abie” KELLER, all born between 1850 and 1865.
Beck married Moses LONDONER (1847-1906) on 22 Jul 1873 in Lafayette County, MO and they had three children including Amy Rebecca LONDONER (1875-1951); Blanche M. LONDONER CRUSE (1878-1948); and W. F. LONDONER. Beck died on 25 Sept 1912 in New York, NY (while living in the Endicott Hotel in Manhattan) and is buried in the Congregation Emanuel Cemetery in Denver, CO.
I’d like to get these photographs to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

The Keller family history was read by Ralph Keller of Clearfield as follows:
As far back as the Kellers can be traced is to Loudon county in Virginia. From there they moved to Noble county in Ohio. There were three brothers, John, Benjamin, & Levi, & the first two named came to Iowa. Levi remained in Ohio, but his son,
I.W. Keller, came to Iowa and Ringgold county in 1855 and in the fall of that year Benjamin Keller, Sr. & his family left Ohio for Iowa. Other families coming at the same time were James Shafer, William Everly, & Alfred James. After two weeks in Iowa, Mr. & Mrs. James returned to Ohio.
The route traveled in coming to Iowa was from Mount Ephraim, Zanesville, Columbus, Springfield, and Dayton, crossing into Indiana near Richmond. They crossed into Illinois at Danville through Urbana, Bloomington, & Peoria and crossed the Mississippi at Burlington. In Iowa they came by way of Birmingham, Keosauqua, Bloomfield, Centerville, Corydon, Leon, & Mount Ayr, to Jefferson Township.
Only ten days after their arrival 22 October 186, Mrs Eleanor Keller died and was buried in the Keller cemetery northwest of Diagonal. There was no casket for burial so a tree was cut in the timber and sawed to make a casket.
In December of that year Benjamin Keller, Sr. bought 240 acres in Grant Township from Robert Parker. They built a home on what was later known as the Solomon Stahl Farm. Here Nancy Keller was united in marriage to Isaac Talley, 9 February 1860 and on the same day Benjamin Keller, Jr. & Sarah E. Talley were married in the Adam G. Talley home.Benjamin Keller, Jr. served in the war between the states along with I.A. Tally & William Everly, who had married Elizabeth Keller. William Everly died in a hospital 20 October 1864.
Benjamin Keller, Sr. died January 1860 and Daniel Keller drowned in Platte River 8 June 1867.
Six of the thirteen charter members of the Talley Class were from the Keller family. They were Benjamin Keller, Sr., who was class leader, Jackson Keller, Benjamin Keller, Jr., Nancy Keller, Mary Keller, and Sarah Keller.
When the Keller family made their trip from Ohio to Iowa they had their goods shopped by rail to Burlington, thing they would pick them up as they came through, but the goods had not yet arrived and they had to return to Burlington for them. Burlington was the nearest railroad town, and supplies were brought by wagon from
Savannah, Maryville, & St. Joseph, Missouri.

Talley? Stahl? Keller family histories tell of pioneer days in this community
Methodist Church History
.... on the evening of 4 July 1856, the emigrant wagons of the Adam G. Talley family camped about one forth mile north east of Diagonal. Adam, with his wife Sarah Aldred, their children, Mary & her husband, Michael Stahl and their little daughter, Melisa; Sarah E, and two sons Isaac A. & Benjamin F. The boys were 15 & 18 years of age. Another daughter, Catherine and her husband, Benjamin Ford remained in Ohio. The Talley's left Ohio on the 7th of May, coming to Iowa by way of Jasper county where Michael & Mary Stahl were visiting. They joined the Talley family and came to Diagonal... to the Isaac Reynolds farm. About a year later Michael & Mary received a land grant & the Keller family arrived in late October.
The Keller family consisted of Benjamin, Sr., his wife, Eleanor, and daughters Lucinda, Betsy, Nancy, Mary, & Sarah; and sons, Daniel, Benjamin, & Jackson. Mrs. Keller did not stand the trip well and passed away ten days after arrival... In 1860 two Talley boys married Nancy & Sarah Keller; Ben Keller married their sister Sarah Ellen.
