General Notes: Husband - Milton Clair Keefer

---

When he was 17 months of age his mother died, but before she died she made the request that her mother, (Nancy Hawk) take her son and raise him. Accordingly, Milton was taken to his grandparents home near Rimersburg, PA, where he grew up under their care and guidance. When he was 12 years of age his Grandmother Hawk passed away, leaving him to the care of his Grandfather Hawk and his bachelor uncle Ross Hawk. They "shantied" with an occasional assistance from some of the women relatives. At an early age, Milton went to work in the coal mines, and at one time had an interest in a threshing machine which he made the rounds with each Fall, threshing the farmers grain.
