Edward C. Keiser, worked for UC

Edward Charles Keiser, who had a 39-year academic career at the University of Cincinnati and was an avid home gardener, died Sunday. He was 65.

With a doctorate in education from UC, Dr. Keiser worked at the university in various roles from resident hall adviser to Dean of Men, Director of Veterans' Affairs, Director of Handicapped Students and most-recently Student Conduct Officer.

He was nationally known and respected for his enthusiastic leadership role in veterans' affairs, including four years as president of the National Association of Veterans' Upward Bound Program.

But around his Newport home, Dr. Keiser was best-known for his backyard garden - designed to be in bloom from spring's first crocuses through late fall. Terraced down a steep hillside, the garden contains fossil rocks hidden among the many flowers and plants.

"There were never enough hours in the day for Ed," said Virginia Keiser, his wife. "He always had so many projects going and always had so many things he wanted to complete."

Each Christmas, Dr. Keiser worked on a homemade wooden gift for each of his three children and eight stepchildren. One recent year, he used a band saw to make each one a wooden creche with characters that formed into a puzzle.

Dr. Keiser served with the Human Involvement Project of Cincinnati, was past-president of his neighborhood association and vice-chairman of the Newport Planning and Zoning Commission.

Dr. Keiser also was an active member and past-president of the Campbell County Kiwanis Club.

"Ed was committed to the city of Newport and the improvements that have been made to the city," said Jan Knepshield, a Newport city commissioner.

"He was always available to help in any way," Ms. Knepshield said.

Dr. Keiser also leaves a daughter, Mary Kay Crone; sons, E. Joseph Keiser and David J. Keiser; and eight stepchildren, Lori Brubaker, Melanie Brubaker, Larry Brubaker, Jeff Brubaker, Bret Brubaker, Brad Brubaker, Jed Brubaker and Rob Brubaker.

Visitation: 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Busse and Borgman Funeral Home, Clifton. Mass: 11 a.m. Friday at St. Monica-St. George Church, Clifton. Memorials: Ed Keiser Memorial Education Fund at Fifth/Third Bank of Northern Kentucky.

Michael R. Hobing, firefighter engineer

Cincinnati firefighter Michael R. Hobing, 53, died at his home early Monday of natural causes.

During his 13 years with Engine 24 in Price Hill, Mr. Hobing "was an example to all the guys he worked with," said District Fire Chief Fred Prather. Mr. Hobing was an engineer who drove the trucks and operated the pumps while firefighters battled flames.

"He mapped out his area in a way as if he was at war every day," Prather said.

"Mike was a very dependable person."

Mr. Hobing had worked in the fire department for 30 years. He and his wife, Martha, who live in Price Hill, have eight children.

Funeral arrangements pending.

Polly Hamlin, facilitated scholarships

Longtime Cincinnati resident Polly Hamlin, known for her work with the Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation and the Christ Church Cathedral library, died in Iowa City Thursday, two weeks after her 86th birthday.

Mrs. Hamlin, who grew up in Massachusetts, lived in Cincinnati both during and after her marriage to Arthur Hamlin, who died in January. She began working at the Scholarship Foundation after moving to Cincinnati in 1957, adding counseling services for those served by the organization.

While directing the foundation, she helped thousands of at-risk students from junior high and high school and also at the University of Cincinnati. Through the foundation, she was able to give stipends to students as well as minor assistance such as money for shoes or bus fare.

She also worked as the executive secretary for the Cincinnati Schools Foundation which worked with the Cincinnati Public Schools district. After retiring, she began work for the church, caring for its small library. Mrs. Hamlin was able to increase its size and its readership.

Mrs. Hamlin became ill while visiting a daughter in Iowa City in March.

She was a graduate of Radcliffe College and a member of the Contemporary Club.

Survivors include a son, Peter Hamlin of Des Moines, and two daughters, Sally Price of Petit Anse, Martinique, and Becky Sato of Iowa City.

A memorial service will be held in the fall at Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati. George L. Gay Funeral Home and Crematorium, Iowa City, is in charge of arrangements.
