Jonah Keeler was one of the first settlers in this part of the Town, and when he moved up here from Ridgefield it was a complete wilderness infested with bears and wolves. His first residence was a log cabin which formerly stood near the brook adjoining the present mansion of Floyd Keeler. His son, Jeremiah Keeler, by will devised the Keeler estate to his three sons, Jonah, Nathan and Lewis; the two former bought out their younger brother's interest. Jonah Keeler, Jr., left two sons-- Walter and Jesse B. Keeler-- who with Floyd, the son of Nathan, now jointly own Keelerville which consists of three hundred acres. Lewis Keeler, the youngest son of Jeremiah, removed to Madison County, N. Y., and left four sons-- Sarles, Joel, Hiram and George.

The views from Floyd Keeler's residence are, indeed, charming ; embracing hills and woods, and a fine panoramic landscape of the Mutighticoos valley looking north-west with the distant mountains bordering on Putnam County and Hudson River. On the north is the mansion of Mr. Walter Keeler, beautifully surrounded with evergreens and other shubbery. This gentleman has done much to improve the neighboring village of North Salem, having erected a fine store in the upper portion
