Libby said she probably would have lost Hartford like her previous miscarriages, but she came down with Malaria and was forced to stay in bed for a long period of time.
His first name Hartford came from his Great Great Grandmother Julia Hartford who married William Hammond. His middle name Hammond came from his Great Grandmother Julia Hammond, William Hammond and Julia Hartford's daughter.
Hartford was the first Keifer to drive a car, and his first car was a new 1922 Ford Model T Runabout which Libby insisted on John buying for Hartford for college on 20 June 1922 from J.L. Brady Dealer in Oroville for $525.38 (A single-door runabout finished in black with a matching retractable three square light top and interior with a 177ci inline-four, 3.75" bore, a 2-speed manual transmission., wood-spoked wheels, and an electric starter - License#X352313, Engine#5976518). It broke John's heart because he didn't want to spend the money. Neither John nor Libby ever drove the car. The day they brought the car out, Hartford drove it all over Oroville. Back then there were no drivers licenses required, and the cars were driven everywhere. Often the road was just a path in the dirt, if that.
Hartford received a B.S. Degree in Agriculture from Berkeley on 14 May 1924 and was an entomologist and zoologist well known around the world. Here is a Profile of his career: HARTFORD H. KEIFER-PIONEER CALIFORNIA MICROLEPIDOPTERIST.
He has a mite collection that is part of the groups of economic concern to agriculture and covers the Tetranychoidea, Cheyletoidea, and Eriophyoidea mites. It is located at the National Museum of Natural History Entomological Collection at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
He was called Bugs Keifer and the Mite God. His kids just called him "Pop".
