I believe she never married and was a school teacher. She used to live in a big house near the edge of town on the road to Walton, I think |
Alice Lenore Shaffer (1882 - 1975) & her brother William Henry Shaffer (1877-1952)
The center photo is of my great Aunt Alice and my Grandfather as I remember them.
I am hoping someone will recognize them as they were in their later years.
Snapshot was likely taken in Hancock NY, 1951-52 as grandpa Shaffer lived with my family at 16 Dillon Street.
My parents were Herbert & Florence (Shaffer) Keel. --Alice Keel Crim, March 5, 2003
