common-school education and being brought up at farm labor, he emigrated West 
in 1865, and in 1866 he left home, worked at the occupation of carpenter two 
years, then was engaged in the grocery trade in Sterling the same length of 
time; next he resided on a farm of 160 acres in Genesee Township 12 years, and 
returned to Sterling in 1882. In March, 1883, he bought out the stock of F. M. 
Maynard in the livery business, and has since been engaged in that line, now 
having about 12 horses. His livery equipment is the largest in Sterling. In 
his political views, Mr. Keefer is a Republican, and in his social relations
