Henry McKeown Dead.
The many friends of Henry McKeown will regret to learn of his passing which occurred in Cushing Tuesday, August 14, 1923. He was one of the early day settlers and at one time was most influential in politics and business, having been elected to the office of county treasurer in this county.
His health failed him a few years ago which impaired his mind to such an extent that he became quite a care to his family. He was one of Lincoln county’s finest and most beloved citizens, living in and near Agra since the beginning. He was sixty-one years old at the time of his death. His funeral Wednesday following his death was largely attended by old friends and neighbors who had know him at his best, and they came to pay the last tribute of respect to a departed friend and pioneer. Interment was made in Avery cemetery.

Notes:

P.B. Molloy was born in Tazwell Co. Va. Feb. 16, 1838, died Nov. 25, 1910. His ancestors were among the early settlers of that state. His father emigrated to Mo. in 1840 and settled in Linn County where the subject of this sketch was reared. His boyhood was present in those hearty pioneer pursuits characteristic of that peculiar period of Missouri's development. He did not have the opportunities offered by the free school system of today and he had reached the age of 20 years before he learned to read. At that age he was seized with an irresistible desire to secure an education, and at odd times and spare moments he soon mastered the necessary elements. Being possessed of a strong analytic mind he turned his attention to law and literature. He ran swiftly in the ways of knowledge, and in 1872 was admitted to the Linn Co. Bar as a practicing attorney.
He was married to Mary J. Phillips of Linn Co. Mo. Oct. 28, 1858. Of this union ten children were born, five boys and five girls all of whom survive him, Millie Gooch, Agra, Oklahoma, J.D. Molloy, Chula Mo., W.L. Molloy, Ripley Oklahoma, A.F. Molloy Alpha Mo., Mrs. G.M. Hayes, Agra, Okla., O.S. Molloy, Hitchita, Okla., F. P. Molloy, Reasons, Okla., Mrs. N.M. Stanley, Agra Okla., Mrs. J. Grindstaff, Glencoe, Okla., and Mrs. B.L. Mattocks, Agra, Okla. his wife having died May 21, 1897.
He emigrated to Oklahoma in November 1891 and settled 1 1/2 mi. north-west of Agra and has resided in this county since that date. In his prime he was a physical giant, possessed a fearless disposition and in his relation with his fellow man was most amiable, frank and open hearted, sympathizing always with the poor oppressed, or distressed, and much of his time and means have been given freely for the benefit of those whom he deemed worthy of this the highest office of the citizen.
As a father his influence was always for the upbuilding of his family, both morally ad intellectually. He was greatly beloved by his children, and his passing leaves a sorrow deep and solemn, but 'tis not a hopeless sorrow, for as we are assured "That in as much as ye did it unto me, " We feel that his life, his aims, and his desires will meet with the commendation of his Creator and that mankind would be infinitely benefitted in the emulation of his many virtues.
"It is not death to die
To leave this weary road
And midst the brotherhood on high
to be at home with God
It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust
And rise on strong exulting wings
to live among the just.

He was laid to rest in the Oak Dale Cemetery.
