Jim Keller is a native of Chariton. His mother and five children moved here after the tragic loss of their father in 1959.
After graduation from CHS in 1965 he went to work for Hy-Vee until his induction into the Army in 1969. He served his basic and advanced training at Fort Polk Louisiana in the infantry. In the fall of '69 he was deployed to Vietnam. There he served with the 101st Airborne Division. He spent 11 1/2 months in the field. For 9 1/2 months he was walking point, which is the soldier who goes first, 30-50 yards ahead of everyone else. Among many distinguished service awards he received the Bronze Star with Oakleaf cluster due to bravery in the line of duty.
After his tour of duty in Viet Nam ended, he returned to the states and finished his duty at Ft. Hood Texas in the armored division.
After his honorable discharge in 1971, he returned to Hy-Vee and became a Store Director in 1981 in Grant City, Missouri. From there he moved to Albia as Store Director, before becoming Store Director in Chariton. Jim retired in 1999 after 34 years with Hy-Vee. Jim and his wife, Connie (Romine) were married in 1968, they have 3 grown children and 7 grandchildren.
In retirement Jim has become involved in the Albia community. He headed the efforts to improve the Sports Complex by adding Musco lights to the boys baseball and girls softball fields and improving the quality of the grounds. Jim was among a group of three people who organized the fundraising and building of an indoor hitting and pitching facility so their youth have a place to improve their skills year round.
His most recent venture began seven years ago. It is the building of a monument on eight acres of land to honor all veterans, no matter where they live.
