Warren, Rector, Keele Farm

Rio Blanco County

The 700 acre farm owned by Thomas and Dorene Keele can be found near Meeker. It had its beginnings in 1888 when 80 acres were homesteaded by Dorene's grandfather, Thomas H. Warren. He passed the land down to his daughter, Katherine who married Ralph Rector; they, in turn, passed it on to their daughter, Dorene. Although hay is grown, much of the acreage is held as rangeland for cattle and sheep. A log cabin dating to the 1880's still stands on the land.
