I came across a couple of articles on newspapers.com that intrigued me, regarding Amos Keiper, a bachelor, who died with a large farm and left no will or heirs. He was born in Lehigh County, PA and the article was looking to find heirs. This intrigues me, because the will of my great, great grandfather, Reuben Keiper of Carbon, County, PA, said that he was living in Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana. For years I wondered why he was in Indiana just out of the blue. This article might be a clue as to why.
