Keiner, of this review, remained under the parental roof, until 1889, when he married at Omaha, where he was clerking, and there he remained as a clerk for four years, then came to Goose Lake, Iowa, where he has since remained. He has remodeled his house and added to it and built machine sheds and increased the property and engaged in selling machinery, coal, flour, feed and all kinds of machinery, buggies, carriages and wagons. He erected an electric light plant and lights the town. He has caused the streets to be macadamized and gutters put in, and has done more than any other man in making and building up Goose Lake. He promoted the Goose Lake Savings Bank, and got it organized in January, 1908, with a capital of twenty thousand dollars, with Henry Kruse, president ; George B. Boothby, vice-president; and W. F. Schroeder, cashier. Directors: H. Kruse, George B. Boothby, Louis C. Keiner, W. F. Schroeder, L. E. Keiner, Christopher F. Schroeder, J. Sullivan and C. F. Schroeder. It was organized under the laws of the state as a bank of deposit and discount. A recent statement makes the following showing: Resources-loans, time and demand. $84,757.07; realty and fixtures, $15,569.50; surplus, undivided cash and due from banks, $15,569.50; liabilities-capital, $20,000; undivided profits, $1,734.55; sight deposits, $24,689.08; savings deposits, $61,706.61. Four per cent on savings. The subject is a director and active in the interests of the bank and one of the live men of Goose Lake. He, with two other men, bought land and platted an addition to Goose Lake, known as Kruse's addition. The subject has invested some surplus in Texas lands, large tracts of valuable real estate. He is enterprising and public spirited and ready to take hold of any enterprise to boost Goose Lake and is among Clinton county's sturdy men financially. Mr. Keiner married Mary Martons. who was born in the province of Holstein, Germany, and came with her parents to America. She is the daughter of Hans and Margareta (James) Martons, both of Holstein, Germany, who left the old country and came to America in 1880, and were successful farmers and have now retired from all active business. They are Lutherans and reside at Persia, Iowa. He has been successful and is well known and highly respected, a good citizen. They reared four sons and four daughters, the sons being successful farmers; one has died.
