52 Ancestors – WEEK 42 – Full House
By Cynthia Keefer Patton
Many of my paternal families had large families. There were LOTS of children. There MUST have been full houses where people congregated, ate, and slept. One of the families was Abram S. Keefer married to Susanna I. Miller. I am not certain but think his middle name may have been Stabutz or Stouffer which was his mother's maiden name.
Abram S. Keefer, born 7 Mar 1847, Saltlick Township, Fayette, Pennsylvania. Married Susanna I. Miller, born 14 Feb 1854 in Pennsylvania in 1871. She died on 2 Oct 1925 in Bullskin Township, Fayette, Pennsylvania. Abram lived 17 more years and finally passed at the age of 95 on 17 Nov 1942 in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. They had the following children:
- George Washington Keefer, 1872-1931
