General Notes: Husband - Henry Keefer


He remained with his parents until he was twenty years of age, when he commenced for himself. He farmed with his father ten years on shares; then bought the farm, consisting of 140 acres, on which he lived until 1864. But during his residence there he bought another farm of seventy-three acres. In the spring of 1864 he bought 176 acres, on which he moved, and thereafter lived. He came to own 452 acres; also a tract of seventeen acres of timber land; a house and lot in Sandy Hook; another tract of timber land of fifteen acres, and one of 224 acres, also of timber. He owned a half interest in a steam saw-mill, and a third interest in 1,200 acres of timber land.
