Dentist confesses killing of aged mother.
Argument over money leads to brutal murder.
Reputed confession of son withheld while probe continues. By the Associated Press. Seattle, Wash. March 3.
Police announced late today that Dr. Albert G. McKeown had confessed he killed his 81-year-old mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown of Muscatine, Ia., with bare hands in a dispute over money.
Dentist Admits Crime.
After two days of questioning, following discovery of the body of Mrs. McKeown in the basement of his home, the doctor broke down this morning, police said. He had been confronted with extensive evidence. “I killed her,” Sheriff Claude G. Bannick quoted him as saying after he had become quieted. Word of the reputed confession of the dentist was withheld by the prosecutor’s office while details of the case were investigated.
Detective Found Will.
Detectives said they had found a will Mrs. McKeown had made three days before her death. In it, they added, she had revoked a previous will which left the bulk of her estate to Dr. McKeown and provided that he share it equally with an old brother, Dr. A. Royal McKeown, also of Seattle.
They added they learned the elderly woman had drafted new notes to make a $10,700 loan to Dr. Albert McKeown payable to her estate, instead of being cancelled, if she died. The new notes were unsigned.
After McKeown’s confession, Sheriff Bannick said he was allowed to go to bed and was wakened late today.The confession was not announced earlier, the sheriff added, to permit more evidence to be assembled.
McKeown Makes Confession
Sheriff Bannick said Dr. McKeown “went to pieces, blew up and confessed.” In addition to the matters of the new will and the notes on his mother’s loan, cuts and abrasions on his left hand were evidence the officers queried him about, they said. The doctor had contended they were not cuts
(continued on page twelve)
but merely burns accidently received from a flat iron.
During the early investigation of the death, the doctor’s wife was questioned and released after spending a night in jail and the elder brother, Dr. A. Royal McKeown, also was brought into the case.
Affairs Readied Crisis
He had told Deputy Prosecutor Lenhan, the prosecutor said, of his irritation over the over the way in which his younger brother had obtained money from his mother and had said that affairs had reached a crisis between them on the day of her death. A portion of a blood-soaked piece of canvas and a piece of charred note was taken from the furnace of the dentist’s home after the mother was found dead. After explaining he had found her body in the basement, the dentist said he had covered her with the canvas and then threw it into the furnace, and substituted a blanket. His story to authorities was that he believed a marauder had slain her in the basement seeking $5,000 in bonds which he said she was accustomed to carry in her clothing.
Mrs. McKeown came west last December with her younger son from her home in Iowa.

Jury excused as state argues with defense over testimony about victim.
By the Associated Press.
Seattle, Wash. April 27.
The jury in the Dr. Albert G. McKeown murder trial was excused today when the state began a fight against defense efforts to show his mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown, 81, was mentally unbalanced. McKeown is charged with second degree murder as a result of a fatal beating given her in the cellar of his home here March 1.
Mrs. Martin Jacobson, a neighbor of the McKeowns, was testifying regarding the dead woman’s talk and actions when Prosecutor Robert M. Berrander interrupted with the statement “The first thing we know the defense will be striving to show the old lady deserved to die.”
“That is not true,” retorted Defense Attorney Henry Clay Agnew. Mrs. Jacobson quoted Mrs. McKeown as saying her sons were going to take her into a dark place to murder her. It developed, the witness said, they were taking their mother into a motion picture theater.
The jury was locked up when both sides began an argument on the admissibility of the testimony. The defense effort for force admission of the state’s copy of the dentist’s confession to the beating failed when the court ruled the state need not produce it.

Dentist Takes Witness Stand.
Prosecution Confronts Defendant With Sheaf of Letters Written to Mother.
By The Associated Press, Seattle, Wash, May 2.
After being subjected to cross-examination throughout the day, Dr. Albert G. McKeown, Seattle dentist charged with second degree murder for the slaying of his mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown of Muscatine, Ia., late today was confronted with a sheaf of letters, he had written to his mother.
Altho the dentist had testified his mother begged him to bring her to Seattle so his brother, Dr. A. Royal McKeown, Seattle physician, could not have her committed to an insane asylum, he admitted authorship of letters, begging the woman to come here.
The dentist when questioned as to why he had attempted to implicate his brother in the killing said the brother “tried to implicate my dear wife.”
Dr. McKeown explained that when he sent for his physician brother after the tragedy he had expected solace and consolation.
Prosecutor Robert M. Burgunder replied with a letter which the dentist admitted writing to his mother in which he referred to the physician as a “thief, a murderer, and libertine.”

Two Matricides To Be Sentence Today.

Two matricides who slew their mothers here on the same night last March will be sentence tomorrow in superior court.
They are Dr. Albert McKeown, convicted of second degree murder for beating to death his mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown of Muscatine, Ia., after quarreling over money, and Leslie Barrett, who shot his mother at a drinking party and convicted to manslaughter.

The following remarks made by John Brown Parker (1818-1904) and William Parker (1821-1905) "The McBrides were rather below medium size, while the Browns were large and robust and stood in the front in all manly sports requiring strength and agility." Dolly Brown McBride had one brother John Brown who settled in Guernsey County, Ohio about 1828, had three sons, William Brown, Robert Brown and John Brown. William settled in Philadelphia, Robert in Des Moines County, Iowa and John remained on the Guernsey County farm. David Martin and Mary McBride Martin, emigrated to America about 1841 and went to Zanesville, Ohio (John Parker and Margaret McBride Parker living there at that time). They left after a few months and went to Troy, New York. All trace of family has been lost.

568 From The University of California, In Memoriam, April 1963

Greta Gray, Home Economics: Los Angeles
1880-1961
Associate Professor Emeritus
Greta Gray was born in Covington, Kentucky, on September 30, 1880. Her early interests in architecture and housing directed her to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1901. For nine years she worked in the fields of architecture and architectural design, including one year of traveling and studying art and architecture in Europe. Upon her return from Europe, impressed by what she had seen in housing and architecture, she resolved to prepare herself for teaching in this important new area developing in the schools. It was at this point of her life that she became convinced that she must teach others the importance of good housing and good design. Perhaps Emerson's declaration that “our attractions are proportioned to our destinies” became a controlling force; she retained this interest during her life.

Dr. Gray became a high school teacher after completing preparatory work in education at the State Normal School in Cheney, Washington. For three years she taught and supervised high school subjects. In 1913 she became a student in Columbia University and received her Master of Arts degree in 1914. This period marked her entrance into the college and university field of teaching.

She taught at the University of Illinois, Kansas State Teachers College, and the University of Wyoming, with summer session teaching at Johns Hopkins, Washington State, the University of California, and Columbia University. In 1918 Dr. Gray became Professor of Home Economics and Chairman of the Department at the University of Wyoming. Again she took a leave from teaching to prepare herself for more advanced work on the university level. She attended and received from Yale University in 1926 the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Following the receipt of that degree, she was sought by the Bureau of Home Economics, United States Department of Agriculture, where she was assigned to prepare material on home and house planning. Upon completing her work for the Bureau of Home Economics, she became a Professor in the University of Nebraska. In 1928 she accepted an associate professorship at UCLA, continuing a fruitful and highly satisfying achievement in home economics during the next twenty-one years.
Dr. Gray's teaching covered a wide area of home economics courses during a time when the department was struggling against such odds as budgets, highly inadequate facilities and laboratories, reorientation from purely teacher preparation to inclusion of advanced courses on the graduate level in research in foods and nutrition, family economics, and the development of advanced degrees.

Even though faced with multiple problems, Dr. Gray, during her six years as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Home Economics at UCLA, directed research and developed and organized courses in family economics, house and home planning, family relations, dietetics, and even in sanitation, before UCLA had a bacteriology department, so that students might be eligible for dietetic internship. She also prepared problems in institutional management and became instrumental with the Art Department in organizing in 1945 the curricula in apparel merchandising and design requested by the garment industries of California.

Dr. Gray's publications were consistent with her interests in family economics and housing. Her book House and Home, published by Lippincott in 1923 (second edition in 1926), had wide use in colleges and universities. Forty-five published articles are noted in her files and were concerned with such problems as housing standards and the home economist, housing in Southern California, overhead costs of meals in small homes, household management, and numerous short articles that appeared in the Journal of Home Economics during the period from 1918 to 1947. Among Dr. Gray's notes appears this statement: “It is difficult to find outlets for studies in family economics and other lines in which I am interested, so I have written more that is unpublished than has been published. The other day while going through my files I found a dozen or more I had not previously discarded. Among them were: 'A Thirty-Year Financial History of a Los Angeles Family' and a study of 'Consumption and Production on Small Acreage Homesteads near Los Angeles.' ”
Dr. Gray participated in the President's Conference on Home Buildings and Home Ownership. She was a member of the Committee on Hygiene of Housing, of the American Public Health Association, and also served on several of the subcommittees. In addition she was a member of the Committee on Eligibility for Omicron Nu. Between 1930 and 1945 she was a member of several county welfare committees and a member of the Tenant Selection Committee of the Los Angeles City Housing Authority. She served as a member of the Los Angeles Defense Council and the Consumer's Interests Subcommittee.

She served on numerous University committees, of which the most important was the All-University Committee on Home Economics. She became the guiding person in the early development of a building for the Department of Home Economics. Much of the fundamental planning for the laboratories and research facilities for the present building had their inception during Dr. Gray's chairmanship. She was a member ex officio of the Committee on Apparel Design and, as Department Chairman, a member of the Executive Committee of the College of Applied Arts.
The breadth of her interests and her delightful sense of humor continued through her retirement, endearing her to friends and students.

Her unusual attention to teaching, administration, and committee work affected her general health, and she became seriously afflicted with arthritis and was compelled to accept a sick leave from February 1949 until the date of her retirement in June 1949. With her sister she moved to Cathedral City in the desert near Palm Springs to gain the benefits of the dry, hot climate for her remaining years. Her death occurred on January 18, 1961, at Cathedral City.

570 From US Presbyterian Church Records, Round Prairie Presbyterian Church, page 32, Kossuth, Iowa, May 15th, 1863. Session met at the call of the Mod & was opened with prayer. Members present, Mod Wall & Elders McClure & Rhea. Miss Mary Herron Chapman applied for admission into the Church, which after an examination was granted. Received as members of the Church on certificate Isaac Shields & Margaret his wife from the Aisquack St. Pres. Church, Baltimore, MD. Session took a recess until tomorrow after the regular service.

From US Presbyterian Church Records, Round Prairie Presbyterian Church, page 43-44. Round Prairie Church, Sep. 5th, 1867. Mr. Isaac Shields having brought charges of Slander against Mr. Isaac Guy & Mrs. Guy, & the Session having taken cognizance of the matter, Mr. Isaac Guy was cited to appear to answer to the charges. The time appointed having arrived, Mr. Guy appeared, but stated that he was unprepared, at present, to defend himself, having failed to procure the witnesses whom he expected to testify in his favor. The Session therefore appointed a subsequent day, one which the parties with their witnesses were to present themselves, in order that the truth of the charges might be investigated. The time having arrived (the 5th of Sep.) the members of the Session all present, also the two parties with their witnesses, the Session proceeded to business. The meeting was opened with prayer. The witnesses were sworn in a body. Opportunity was given to ascertain the competency of the witnesses. Mr. Guy objected to two of the witnesses brought by Mr. Shields on account of near relationship to the prosecutor. The objection of Mr. Guy was sustained by the Session, & the names of the witnesses were stricken off the list. The charges were read & the witnesses called to bear testimony to substantiate them. The testimony of the witnesses of Mr. Shields, against Mr. & Mrs. Guy having been taken, & questions asked by Mr. Guy, of the same witnesses, for his defence, the Session decided that the testimony was not sufficient to sustain the charges. Mr. Guy expressed his willingness, in case the Session should acquit him, to refrain from taking further testimony from his witnesses (only one of them having been heard). & permit the matter to rest; providing the Session should deal with Mr. Shields according to his deserts, for bringing charges against him, & thus trying to do him an injury. The Session having decided that the charges of slander (a copy of which is retained by the Clerk, & which for particular reasons are not made part of this record,) brought against Mr. & Mrs. Guy were not sustained, the witnesses were dismissed, & the meeting was closed with prayer. Mr. C. Rhea, Clerk, Kossuth, Iowa, Sep 5th, 1867.

The following obituary for James G. McKeown is included in the entry for his father, William McKeown.
Died at his home near Freeport, Ohio, September 2, 1890, James G. McKeown, aged twenty years. Interred at Londonderry September 2, funeral services conducted by Rev. J. W. Taylor. The deceased was the only son of William and Nancy McKeown. Three years of his life were spent with his parents and sister near Sublett, Mo. The remainder of his life was passed at his home near this place. He was absent from home when he was taken sick, but returned home at once and consulted a physician. Continuing to grown worse, two other physicians were summoned but the skill of all was baffled by his disease which his physicians termed typho-malaria fever. He united with the United Presbyterian Church at Londonderry in his fifteenth year. Young and full of life's youthful vigor and joys, but not a stranger to deep thought or meditation upon serious things which he evidenced upon his death bed but resigning himself to God, and assuring his parents that God doeth all things for the best. His sufferings were severe which he bore with great patience. Being early made acquainted with the Scriptures, they afforded him much consolation in time of trial. His mind was clear and his faith unshaken to the last. The family, community and friends have experience an inexpressible loss. He had a large circle of friends, and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He has gone to his rest, and given to youth and all a warning.

589 Funeral services for Dwaine Irwin, 30, New Boston farmer, father of three children, who died in an automobile crash in lower Rock Isalnd county Thursday night, were held Sunday afternoon in the Eliza community church.

The fatal accident occurred at about 6:30 p.m. about three miles north of the county line on the black top road to Muscatine. Irwin, driving a late model sedan, was returning from Muscatine to his home in the Mannon neighborhood, where his family waited his arrival to celebrate his 30th birthday.

According to the report made to sheriff's deputies of Rock Island county, Irwin was headed south when he overtook a tractor proceeding in the same direction, driven by Ralph Hunter of the rural Muscatine area. Hunter told deputies he heard a shriek of brakes and tires as the Irwin automobile cut out of the lane behind him and collided with a northbound vehicle.

There were three occupants in the second car. One of them, Mrs. Grover Ballard, 28, Davenport, still is in Muscatine General hospital under treatment for a hip fracture, cuts and bruises. Her husband, 29, the driver, and Clinton Damming, 35, passenger, were released from the hospital after treatment.

Both automobiles were de-demolished. After the impact the automobiles came to a stop on the east side of the road, about 100 yards south of the crash point. The right front of the Ballard car and the left of the Irwin car showed the most severe damage. The windshield of Irwin's car was completely out and his body remained behind the wheel.

Irwin's wife, parents, and other relatives, notified of the accident, were on the scene as Rock Island county coroner Leslie Banning made his examination and ordered the body removed to the Larson funeral home, Milan.

State police assisted in directing traffic around the demolished vehicles, and Mercer county sheriff Bill Abertson and deputy Morgan Clymore went to the scene, since a Mercer county man was involved and the accident occurred close to the county line.

Irwin was born exactly 30 years before, on Sept. 5, 1927, in Eliza township, the son of Victor and Marie Andress Irwin. He graduated from New Boston high school and attended the University of Iowa. He served for two years with the United States Navy.

On September 10, 1950, he married Phyllis McKeown, of Muscatine. He was a member of the New Boston Masonic lodge and of the Moline Consistory.

He is survived by the widow, two sons, Gregory and Peter Thomas, and a daughter, Lydia Lou; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Irwin; a sister, Mrs. Patricia Morrison, New Boston and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Jessie Andress, Aledo.

The Rev. Samuel B. Parker, pastor of the Joy Methodist church and the Rev. John Keller, pastor of the New Boston Methodist church officiated at funeral services and burial was in Eliza Creek cemetery.

Active pallbearers were Tom Noble, Reed Sloan, Bill Willits, Alan Sloan, Dr. E. L. Kingry, and Les Morrow.

Honorary pallbearers were Jim O'Toole, Verne Zimmerman, Harley Stubbs, Press Smith, Dale Smith, Kenneth Barkel, Eldon Beard and Bob Willits.

The George Wittich Funeral firm of Muscatine was in charge of arrangements.
