By the 1910 census, Martha Jane KEFFER is a widow (Levi died in 1904), and she is listed as having had 12 children, only 6 of whom are still alive. I know 10 of those children, so there may have been others who died young. My great-grandfather John William KEFFER, Margaret (KEFFER) SHAFFER, James J. KEFFER, George KEFFER, and Elmer Ellsworth KEFFER were all surely alive in 1910. I assume Walter and Oliver were dead before 1900, since they were not listed with the family in 1900 or 1910.
