General Notes: Husband - Isaac Holmes Keefer


He was educated in the public schools near Keefer's store, and followed farming until he was thirty years old, part of the time on the old Keefer homestead and six years in Guilford township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Besides two other farms he owned the original Keefer farm purchased by his grandfather, Christian Keefer. This farm had been in the family for a century and a quarter. In 1870 he removed to Chambersburg and engaged in the wholesale and retail commission business, in which he continued until 1898, when he retired.
