D. L. Kieffer
D. L. Kieffer, second child and oldest son of Adam Kieffer, who was one of the earliest pioneers, was born in Greene township, Wayne county, Ohio, May 12, 1829. In the summer of 1854 he was married to Miss Rebecca Spangler, of Wayne township, by whom hw has one son, George, a promising lad of twelve years. From his youth up Squire Kieffer showed an ardent desire for mental culture. After going through the common-schools he attended Canaan Academy, under Professor Notestine; also Prof. Foster's school of Seville, and the College at Edinburg, under Prof. Hill. He is an architect of ability, a noted master of civil engineering, a man of considerable literary acquirements, and we are indebted to him for the material facts in relation to Greene township.
