The Keller Lions Club has been instrumental in collecting Keller history, and without its archives this book would not have been possible. Unless otherwise noted, the Keller Lions Club graciously provided all images appearing in this book. I wish to thank Lions Club member Kurt Koster, who graciously trusted me with the Lions Clubs images while I put this book together, and Donald Blevins for helping to place names with faces. A special thank you goes to Jay Cy Martin, for reliving his tales of Chisholm Trail and his stories as a railroad engineer, and to former mayor Ron Lee, for allowing me to literally take the pictures off his wall to be a part of this book.
Homestead Farms is a unique dairy farm and has been a part of Keller history for over 100 years. It was my distinct pleasure hearing the Browning family tales from brother, Michael Farris, and sister, Mindalyn Looper. Their excitement to keep the family history alive is being honored with their farm receiving the Century Farm Award from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Pollenzos Pizza House in Keller deserves a particular thank you, as I spent many hours there writing this book and believe that the smell of great food prompted great literary moments of insight. A tip of the hat goes to Jon Paul Jordan at Copy and Ship Headquarters in Watauga for his assistance in the scanning process. Thanks, kindly, to the University of Texas at Arlington Library Special Collections and the use of the Lyda Smith White Collection, as well as to historical manuscript archivist Brenda S. McClurkin, whose help was greatly appreciated during my research. I thank Joyce Gibson Roach for donating this extensive collection of history.
I also wish to thank my editor at Arcadia Publishing, Hannah Carney, for her expert assistance and professional guidance in keeping me on task and to publisher Kristie Kelly for taking a chance on a new writer. Also, thank you to the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the Keller Citizen for access to their newspaper archives.

The Keller Lions Club has served the Keller community for the last 62 years and has helped make Keller what it is today. The Keller Lions Club was formed in 1948 and provides many Keller Independent School District (KISD) students with scholarships as well as eye exams and eyeglasses each year at no cost to the students. The club is able to underwrite this and many other programs by holding the annual Keller Fair. The club also supports Caseys Kids, which help needy KISD students purchase school clothing, as well as Rocky Top Therapeutic Riding Center, which utilizes horses in their treatment for special-needs children. The Lions Club facilities host many Keller events throughout the year, which aid in raising funds for the many great deeds done by the club.
