In Reply to: Kieffers in North Dakota by Reinhart Schreiter of 393

Anthony Kieffer married Annie Schill in 1906 in Mt Carmel North Dakota. Tony was a business man in Wales and a very well known and respected auctioneer in the county. They moved to Hannah, North Dakota in the 30's or 40's I am guessing.
They had the following children' Lee, Harold, Wilfred, Irma, Rhon and Raymond

1. Lee Kieffer born in 1908 I think. Lee farmed in the area of Wales and later moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota He lived to be in his 90's. He is buried in Grand Forks. is wife was Clara Metzger from the Wales area. His son Roger Kieffer lives in Grand Forks and has 7 sons and one daughter. Lee also had three daughters Sharon, Judy and Joan Kieffer. They are all married and I do not know where they live. Lee;s name was Leander Kieffer.

2.
Harold Kieffer was born in 1910. He married Henreitta a girl from Sarles, North Dakota. He also farmed in the Wales area. He too moved to Grand Forks. He has one daughter Jessie Kieffer who lives in Grand Forks.

3
Wilford Kieffer was born in 1912. We called him Abie or uncle Abe. He owned a bar in Hannah, North Dakota. He never married. He took care of his mother Annie until she died in 1967. He served in WW II. He was everyone's favorite uncle. He is buried in Wales, North Dakota next to his parents.

4.
Raymond Kieffer was born in 1918 the youngest child. He married Eleanor Machart from Langdon, North Dakota. They had 6 children, Anthony (Tony) Kieffer who lives in San Angelo Texas and works for the US Government. Tony has one son named Raymond Kieffer and a daughter Rachelle.

6
Ron married John Nowatzki and they farmed in the Langon-Wales area. later they moved to Langdon. Both are deceased and buried in Langdon. They had 4 children Tony a girl, Stacy, Patrick and another son named Mark I think.
Ron;s name was Rhoneldis. I am not sure how she spelled it but I wrote it like it sounded.

All of the children of Tony and Annie Kieffer were successful. Irma lived to be in her 80's and Lee in his 90"s. The other children died in their early 70's

Tony Kieffer is also a character mentioned in a book..Lucy Johnston Sypher wrote the books about Wales, North Dakota

The books are "The Edge of No Where" Cousins and Circus"
"The Turn About Year" and one more which I forget right now.

The Kieffer family was very close. They loved humor,told many chokes, loved hunting and gardening and were good, strong and Kind.
He is the Auctioneer. The names of the books
