Andrew was a native of Pennsylvania and the son of Jacob, who lived some time in Ohio, but removed to Indiana about 1835, settling in Columbia township, and secured two hundred acres of land on which he lived till death. Margaret Markle was born in Germany and came to this country when about twelve years of age with her father, John Markle, who remained in Portage county, Ohio, until the close of his life. Andrew and Margaret were married in Portage county, Ohio, where they remained a number of years, but came to Indiana in 1850 and settled in Columbia township, remaining there until their respective deaths, that of the mother occurring in 1875, followed by the father in 1885. They were exemplary members of the Lutheran church and were the parents of five children: Cyrus; John, living in Kosciusko county, Indiana; Mary, living in Iowa; Lovina and Sarah, both deceased in infancy. Cyrus H. Keiser was two years old when his parents moved to Whitley county and has remained here continuously to the present time. He grew to manhood on the home farm, assisting in the labors and receiving the benefit of the common schools. March 14, 1872, he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Henry and Sarah Ann (Wise) Brown, who was born in Stark county, Ohio, November 20, 1850. Mrs. Keiser began to teach at the age of seventeen and taught in the Whitley county schools for six years. Her parents were natives of Ohio, and came to Columbia township in 1852, where they continued to live till death, that of the wife occurring in 1854 and of the husband in 1887. Ten children were born to them: Eli and Harriet, both deceased; Eliza ; Lucetta, deceased; Josiah; Theophilus, deceased; Sarah Ann; Peter; and Franklin, deceased. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Kiser(sic): Dora Alice, who died in early childhood; Otto L., who married Jessie A. Lower, lives in Troy township and has one child, Almeda Genevive; Leona L., at home. The first farm owned by Mr. Kiser was in Troy township, but in 1900 they purchased one hundred and fifty-nine acres in Richland township, on which they still live. This is the Lysander Joslin homestead, the former owner making the principal improvements, including the house. It lies five miles northwest of Columbia City near the village of Lorane. The farm is productive, well improved in every way and is a desirable and pleasant home. In addition to general farming, considerable attention is given to stock, thoroughbreds being kept in the line of hogs, cattle and horses. Mr. Keiser is a Democrat and has served the public as ditch commissioner for several years. He has been a successful agent of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company and continues to give the business a part of his time. Mrs. Keiser is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
