Notes
a. Note:   NI20990 Originally, the family name was spelled "O'Keefe" or "O'Keeffe" but many of the children later dropped the "O" part of the name to avoid confusion with so many people with the same name in the Trempealeau area. It is not known for sure if the original spelling was with one "F" or two "F"s (O'Keefe - O'Keeffe). Edmund's gravestone is spelled as "Keefe" (one F) but&nbsp; his wife who died 27 years later has her gravestone as "Keeffe" (with two F's). It seems that the predominant spelling in the Trempealeau, Wisconsin area has two F's.
 ----------------------------------------
b. Note:   BI20990 His gravestone gives an incorrect birth year of 1852 instead of 1850. Somehow during his adult life, Edmund came to believe that his birth year was 1852 any many documents show that year. But the fact that he appears on the Canadian census in 1851 proves that his birth date could NOT have been in 1852.
  Researcher Robert C. Westphal indicates "Inaccurate date on headstone indicates Edmund Keefe was born: August 24, 1852. Should read: August 24, 1850 (as evidenced by the date of his baptism, September 6, 1850, along with oral family history per Carl M. Keefe, providing the date of 1850 as correct)".
  However, two census records of 1905 and 1910 both substantiate a birth date of 1852 instead of 1850. The "evidence of baptism" referenced by Robert C. Westphal was actually taken from IGI data which has many errors, as do many census records. The Canadian Census of 1851 seems to support the birth year of 1850 and not 1852.
 -----------------------------------------
c. Note:   DI20990 On his death certificate, his mother was listed as Margaret Shea of Watergrasshill, County Cork, Ireland. His father was Michael Keeffe of Ireland. His occupation was that of a RR Section Laborer for the C&NW railroad. J. J. Powell of Galesville was the attending doctor. His son, Howard Keeffe, was the informant. Burial was to be in Trempealeau.
