ISAAC
MARVIN KEELER. The man whose name is most
intimately connected with the history of the Fremont Journal is
the subject of this sketch. He is of Puritan parentage, on
both sides, both his father and mother having been born in
Fairfield county, Connecticut, in 1799. His grandfather,
Luke Keeler, and his grandmother, and Isaac
Marvin, with their families, emigrated to Ohio in wagons
in the year 1817. The former settled in Huron county, and,
in partnership with Platt Benedict, built the first house
in Norwalk. The latter settled in Richmond county.
Isaac M. Keeler was born in Sharon township,
Richland county, Sept. 8, 1823. He lived at Norwalk until
September, 1840, when he came to Lower Sandusky and entered the
office of the Lower Sandusky Whig, as an apprentice.
Between 1843 and 1849 Mr. Keeler was temporarily
located in Milan, Norwalk, Sharon, and New York. He was
commissioned postmaster at Fremont in October, 1850, and served
in that capacity two years. In 1854 he purchased the
Fremont Journal, which he edited and published until 1865, when
he sold the office on account of poor health, and entered the
insurance and real estate business, in which he continued until
1877. In December of that year he repurchased the Journal,
and, in association with his son, continues to edit the paper.
Mr. Keeler was married to Anna F.
Hulburd, of Lower Sandusky, June 23, 1847. She died
Oct. 26, 1850, leaving one child. He married for his
second wife, May 12, 1859, Jeannette Elliott,
