Dec., 2015: Janet Watt fonds

Born and raised in Vaughan, Janet Watt lived in Maple and was quite involved with local history and the Vaughan Township Historical Society. As a direct descendant of the T.D. Keffer Family, Janet retained and collected items of genealogical and historical significance, relating to the maternal side of her family. The Janet Watt fonds, consists of records collected by the Watt and Keffer families during their residence in Vaughan. Items span from ca. 1870-1934 and include black and white photos, an albumen print and postcards. Although fragmented, the fonds captures some unique and early photos of the Keffer house and Dr. Keffer himself. Additional material was also donated by Ms. Watt to the Vaughan Archives, and resides within the Vaughan Township Historical Society fonds.
