John R. KELLER (1849 - 1931) was a son of Joseph KELLER (1822 - 1908) & Barbara BREITER (1823 - 1897).
John R. married Mary G. GIGAX (1849 - 1935) on January 7, 1884. Clarence KELLER (1893 - 1986) married
Lorla S. STUEMPLE (1897 - 1874) on October 30, 1917.
I don't know who were the John & Mary KELLER family that lived 2 houses from the John R. KELLER family.
Perhaps they were distant cousins from Switzerland.
