Notes:

Hespeler Woman 101 Years Old

Mrs. Elizabeth Keffer Native of York Township.

HESPELER. Mrs. Elizabeth Keffer, believed to be the oldest citizen of Waterloo County, observed her 101st birthday anniversary at her home in Hespeler on Friday. Mrs. Keffer is enjoying comparatively good health. Born in Vaughan Township, York County, Mrs. Keffer is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Adam Mager. She received the greater part of her education at home owing to the lack of educational facilities.

She maried Solomon Keffer on October 18, 1853, the ceremony being performed by Rev. James Dick, of the Presbyterian church. At that time clergymen of the Presbyterian and Anglican faith, only, were privileged to perform the marriage ceremony, she recalled.

The couple resided in "Muddy York," now Toronto, for seven years, coming to this district in 1860 when they took up their home on a farm in Puslinch Township. After six years of farming they moved to Hespeler about 70 years ago.

Of the eight children, six are still living.

Rebellion of 1837:
Mrs. Keffer spent her girlhood in the then sparsely settled Vaughan Township. Her recollections of her girlhood reveal that soldiers of the Rebellion of 1837 drilled on her father's farm before they attempted their coup.
