Daniel Ketner, farmer and stock-raiser, was a son of Dawalt
Ketner of Rowan County, NC. Dawalt Ketner married
Miss Mary Isenhour (Eisenhower)
on January 17, 1819 in Cabarrus County, NC, their
son, Daniel, being born November 26, 1825 . Dawalt is the son
of George
Michael Ketner II which was born in Berk County, PA. It is thought that his father was the George
Michael Ketner I that came to the United.States from the
Palantine area of.Germany in 1733.
David Dawalt KETNER, was born on 29 Apr 1788
in near Salisburg, Rowan Co., NC. He died on 7 Nov 1858 in
Salisburg, Rowan Co., NC. He was a farmer. Finna Anna
Maria ISENHOUR was born on 7 Apr 1800. She died on 24
Apr 1846 in Salisburg, Rowan Co., NC.
Daniel remained with his father after his mothers death until he
reached the age of twenty-four years. In the spring of 1849,
Daniel moved west and settled in the Union County, IL. He
labored on a farm there for eighteen months, and then, thinking
the prospects brighter for him in TN, he moved to that
state, where he married a Miss Catherine A. Bour, born in 1835 in NC.
After his marriage, he settled on a farm in Weakley County, TN, where he remained three years, and then moved back to
Union County, IL, residing there until the fall of 1858. He
then came to AR and bought eighty acres of new land, which
he cleared and put under cultivation, and meeting with success in
his new home, he bought more land on different occasions. His
home place consisted of 160 acres, with fifty-five acres cleared,
and another of seventy-three acres, of that, thirty-five acres
ready for cultivation.
Mr. Ketner felt proud of his possessions, made by his own
exertions and good management since the war. He was one of
Lawrence County's representative farmers, and a man much thought
of and respected in his community.
In 1863, he enlisted in the Confederate1
army, and served until the final surrender. He served in Company
G; 38 Ark Infantry as a private. His name is on a prisoner of war
list which has him being paroled at Shreveport, LA, on June 8,
1865. His record through the war is one of the best , and he was
always in the thick of battle at Pilot Knob, Pine Bluff, Little
Rock, Independence and Price's raids through Missouri.
Mr. Ketner returned to his home after the war had ended.
Family legend has it that Catherine was raped by Carpetbaggers
and Daniel took the children, but kick Catherine out and they divorced in 1867
according to the pension records of Robert Newt Huggins. He then married a
Sophia Cozart, but she left him and would not live with him.
Daniel divorce her and married a Mrs. Mary J. Lawson, a widow
lady of Tennessee, in 1883. He is the father of seven children by
his first marriage: George Henry Ketner; John Daniel
Ketner; Jesse Alex Ketner; Sarah Mahala Ketner, Jane Ketner,
Margaret Ketner, Amanda
Ketner, and there was also one child by
a third marriage, Nettie Ketner.
Mr. Ketner was a member of the Old School Presbyterian Church,
and also of the Agricultural Wheel, while Mrs. Mary Ketner
attended the Baptist Church.
Catherine A. (Bour) Ketner remarried to a Robert N. Huggins on April 25, 1885. She applied for Mr. Huggins' Civil War pension and was granted on Sept 24, 1897. She died on March 12, 1898 and is buried in the Clover Bend Cemetery, Clover Bend, Lawrence County, Arkansas under the name of Catherine A. Ketner.
Daniel and Mary J. (Mrs. Lawson) Ketner both died on October
12, 1902 and are buried in the Lebanon Cemetery in Eaton,
Arkansas. Daniel had been ill for a long while. One day Martha
told Nettie, their youngest child (age 18 at this time), that she
needed a rest for her to watch over he father. When she went to
check on her mother after an hour, she found Martha had died.
Daniel died just an hour later. This information was provided by
the FARMER maids of Wewoka, OK.
