Portland Review, 28 Jan 1913

Body Sent In From Asylum

Remains of Solomon Keefer Brought to Orange for Burial.

The remains of Solomon Keefer were brought to Portland last week from Traverse
City, his death having taken place in the asylum early in the week.  Funeral
services were held at the M.E. church Wednesday afternoon and burial was in
Keefer cemetery in Orange.  Deceased was a cousin of the Keefers and
brother-in-law of the Nicholson boys and had resided in Orange up to 22 years
ago, when he went to Greenville.  It was while visiting at Albert Keefer’s last
fall that he was stricken with apoplexy.  For a time it was thought he would
die, but he improved physically, though his mind was permanently affected, and
it became necessary to send him to the asylum.  He is survived by his wife and a
daughter, who live in Greenville.  Mrs. Henry Townsend, of Portland, is a niece.
 Mr. Keefer was in comfortable circumstances and was 71 years of age.
