   John G. Keefer, farmer, Rob Roy, son of Israel and Margaret (Hall) Keefer,
was born in Ross county, Ohio, August 31, 1851. He came with his parents to
Shawnee township in the fall of 1854, and has lived here since that time. His
father was a mechanic, and the use of tools coming to him naturally, he learned
the carpenter's trade with much freedom, but has never followed it to any great
extent. He began farming in 1874. December 18, 1873, he was married to Miss
Henrietta Fisher, who was born February 24, 1851. Her father came to Shawnee
township, and first settled near Portland, about forty years ago. He died in Rob

and Lulu, December 4, 1876. Mr. Keefer was elected assessor of Shawnee township
in the spring of 1880, for two years. He is a republican, active in politics and
business, and an intelligent, useful citizen.
