Edwin Augustus Keeble (February 14, 1807 – August 26, 1868) was a Tennessee politician who served in the Confederate States Congress during the American Civil War.
[1] Keeble finished third in the election to represent the 6th district of that state in the First Confederate Congress, winning 8% of the vote, but carried the same district handily in the August 6, 1863, Tennessee congressional elections, defeating P.G.
[2] The 6th district was under Union occupation at the time of the election and civilian voting was done by refugees.
As was true of many congressmen whose districts were under Union occupation, Keeble was a strong supporter of the Davis administration, part of a voting bloc that approved "higher taxes that would not be levied on their constituents and for tougher conscription laws that would take no men from their districts.
[4] He was buried in Rutherford County, and later re-buried in Mount Juliet, Tennessee.
