KEEFER.—The romantic interest that is attached to the early history of California, carrying the imagination back to the old adobe days and quaint customs of that race of aborigines that is so rapidly disappearing before the march of civilization, is always enhanced when related by one who has had actual acquaintance with these scenes, or whose immediate ancestors have had the experiences. Claude A. Keefer, one of California's native sons, whose father was among the intrepid men who crossed the plains in forty-nine, is an interesting conversationalist, full of stories relating to those early pioneer days. His father, James Lawrence Keefer, was a native of Pennsylvania, born in Union County, November 20, 1820 ... His wife Rebecca (Odell) Keefer, was born in Ohio and crossed the plains in 1852, with her two brothers, Nathaniel and John Odell, who settled in Butte County ... Her children were all born on the old home place at Keefer Station, Rock Creek Ranch. There were twelve children, six boys and six girls, namely: Clarence D., who died in 1884 at the age of thirty; Charles C., now residing in San Jose, Cal.; Eudora, who married W.H.H. Smith and died in 1896, on Pine Creek; Rose, now Mrs. Quinby, living in San Jose; Maude, Mrs. Maurice, of Oakland; James I., who died in Vina at the age of fifty-five years; Lucy, now Mrs. Willard, living in Texas; William, a cattleman, residing at Chico Vecino; Jessie, Mrs. Hoarr, of New York City; Harry, who resides on Pine Creek; Blanche, now Mrs. Isaac Bennett, of Nord; and Claude A. Claude A. Keefer was born November 7, 1874, and was brought up in his native place, attending the public school. He afterwards attended high school in San Francisco, also business college in that city, graduating in 1893. Returning home, he assisted his father in the operation of the ranch, continuing in the stock-raising business with his father until the death of the latter, when he became possessor of the one hundred sixty-acre home place, where he is now engaged in raising grain, cattle and hogs, specializing in the latter. He estimates the loss of his residence, in 1907, by fire, at five thousand dollars, as the house contained relics that cannot be replaced. Mr. Keefer was trustee of Walnut School District during two terms and was clerk of the board. In politics he is decidedly Republican. Source: "History of Butte County, Cal.," by George C.
