Please find enclosed the best effort at typing up our family bible which I made a copy of a few years ago. Any
questions, please contact me. Jim Keller.
[Notes: The original Bible belonged to Peter Samuel Keller and Clarinda Schryver who were married on February 2, 1931 in Fredericksburgh Twp., Lennox and Addington Co., Ontario. The original transcript from Lutheran Church Record 1793-1832 has her name as Clarinda Unger. Her obituary and tomestone at Centreville put her last name as Schryver. To date no birth record has been located for either last name or any previous marriages.
Peter Samuel Keller was the eldest son of Samuel Keller and Rosanna Warner of Fredericksburgh
Twp., Lennox and Addington Co., Ontario. The handwriting seems to be a mixture of two distinct styles so I have
indicated where one starts and the other ends and where the original starts again. The Bible was inherited by Mary
Alice Keller, eldest daughter, who married Jacob Smith Rombough. The Bible then went to Seymour Benjamin Rombough
who married Lillian Roy Spence and finally to Ada Rombough who married Harold Doupe. In abt.1992, Ada still had
the Bible when copies were made of these pages. As far as I know she is still living in rural Camden Twp. near
Centreville, Ontario.]
