This is a copy of a page from a family bible that was hand written in German and lists the children of Johannes Keller and Elizabeth Minzi, listing each person as well as their date of birth. It was translated at some point by Mrs. Hatch from the university of Cincinnati. The page most likely came from a descendant of daughter Katie Keller and William Wolf, as it shows "Our father William G. Wolf was born January 29, 1864.
