Dixie's family was living in Spokane for the 1900 census: The father is shown as "C. W. Kiefer" (could be "G. W."), age 39, listed birth state as Pennsylvania, and occupation as "music teacher." He died sometime between 1900 and 1910. The census also shows that Dixie had at least four siblings.Revue Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925903211294652386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144412872099377367.post-24876791138978648022013-04-27T17:52:26.593-06:002013-04-27T17:52:26.593-06:00Do you know anything about his father?
