106 Barbara Blair Gish passed away peacefully on the morning of February 12, 2020 in Commerce, TX with family and friends by her side. She was 89 years old.

Born September 16, 1930 in Hutchinson, Kansas to William and Mabel Blair, Barbara and her brother Bill grew up with strong role models for tenacity, and she credited her parents with viewing life as a grand opportunity, fostering a lifelong passion to share one’s abundance and talents. She was affected by WWII, the notion of sacrifice, and consequently drawn to history and politics as an arena for compromise and civility. In college she earned a B.S. in Sociology and began her career in public service immediately after. In 1954, she met her husband Larry Gish on a blind date, falling so easily in love they would marry only one year later and remain happily married until his passing in 1991. Together they moved first to Marceline, Missouri, then Arkansas City, Kansas, and finally Stillwater, Oklahoma, where she spent most of her life from 1966 to 2013. They had four children but tragically lost two in early childhood, experiences that deeply impacted her life. Throughout, she faced these and other challenges with her special brand of courage, determination, and faith.

Family was her greatest joy, but she was also closely involved with her community, making lifelong friends in the process. Her heartfelt desire to help anyone in need of a champion and her unmistakable bubbly laugh endeared her instantly to those she met, and helped cinch her many admirable achievements. She worked tirelessly with multiple philanthropic organizations including the Delta Delta Delta sorority (where she played several roles including district president), OSU Friends of Music, Stillwater Arts and Humanities Council, OSU Panhellenic, and PEO. She established and enriched child advocacy centers in Oklahoma, assisted in St. Andrew’s thrift shop, and lobbied for abused children at both state and local levels. In honor of her volunteerism, the governor of Oklahoma declared September 18th, 2010 to be Barbara Gish Day, a statewide holiday. Barbara loved to travel, garden, spend time with her children and grandchildren, to write thoughtful handcrafted letters to dear friends and family, and always, always help others however she could.

In death she joins her parents William and Mabel, daughter Nancy, son Alan, husband Larry, brother Bill, and son-in-law Richard Lampe. She is survived by her daughter Susan Lampe, son David Gish, daughter-in-law Catherine, grandchildren Blair, Emily, Lauren, and Evan, sister-in-law Jody Blair, and beloved cousins, nieces and nephews. Memorial services will be held at 10am at the First United Methodist Church chapel in Commerce, Texas on February 21st and in Stillwater, Oklahoma at 11am at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church on February 22nd.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be sent to the Barbara Blair Gish Endowed Scholarship at the Oklahoma State University Foundation (400 Monroe, Stillwater, OK 74074. Fund# 34-8000), The Saville Center for Child Advocacy in Stillwater, OK (1523 West Ninth Avenue, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074), or the Larry Gish Memorial Endowment at the Stillwater Public Education Foundation (P.O.

112 Bausch, Karl McKeown – One of Nebraska’s finest sons, passed away at 4:28 PM on Thursday, February 24, at Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame. He will be missed by many whose lives he touched with his intelligence, grace, humor and love. With him were Evelyn, his wife of 65 years, his son Robert, and daughter Joan. He is also survived by Robert’s wife Elisabeth and their daughter Kym, and Joan’s daughter Wendy. He lived in Burlingame from 1947 to 1984, and since then in San Mateo.

He was born January 19, 1908 in O’Neill, Nebraska. He had a career as a professional electrical engineer, mainly in San Francisco, that spanned 44 years. A highlight of his early career was when he served as Chief Electrician aboard the United Fruit Co. steamship Talamanca on the San Francisco-Panama route. A love of music and talent on the trumpet led him to create and lead a six piece dance band that played around the Bay Area for a number of years.

The last 36 years of his career were with Bechtel Corporation, for whom he was Chief Electrical Engineer, among many other duties. During these years he designed large commercial institutional and industrial buildings and facilities. Later projects with Bechtel involved rapid transit systems.

Professional memberships included IEEE, PCEA, the San Francisco Electric Club (President), Engineer’s Club, and The Commonwealth Club.

He was a 61 year member of Summit Lodge No.1112 Free and Accepted Masons of California at Knights Ferry, and a 32nd degree member of Scottish Rite of Free Masonry S.J. at San Francisco.

Cremation is being arranged by Crosby N. Gray & Co. in Burlingame, and a private family memorial will be held at Skylawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Children’s Hospital at Stanford in memory of his grandson Geoffrey Bausch.

Obituary - Mrs. Bessie Duncan
Bessie M., daughter of John H. and Maria Walkinshaw, was born near College Springs, Iowa, November 9, 1872, and died at her home in Bedford, December 17, 1946, at the age of 74 years, 1 month and 8 days.

At an early age, she moved with her parents to a farm south of Blanchard, Iowa, where she attended elementary school. Later, she attended college, which was then known as Amity, at College Springs.

Through the influence of her strict reformed Presbyterian parents, she, very early in life, united with that church, where she remained a member until her marriage to Orie E. Duncan and then she became affiliated with the church of her husband where she continued as a faithful and loyal member until her death.

She was married January 9, 1894, to Orie E. [mmett] Duncan of Blanchard. Their new home was established on a farm in Taylor County, where they resided until 1914, at which time they moved to Bedford, where she spent the remainder of her life with the exception of 14 years, which were spent at Collins, Missouri.

They moved back to Bedford May 8, 1946.

To them were born 9 children, one having died in infancy. They are Lucile E. of Longview, Texas, Omar Daniel, deceased 1916, Major Fred J. of the U.S. Army, stationed in Giessen, Germany; Raymond J. of San Francisco, Orie Leland of Bedford, Jim W. of Des Moines, and Willard E. [dgar] of San Francisco, Elfie F. Thompson of Bedford.

She leaves to mourn her passing, her husband, seven children, eleven grandchildren and three sisters: Jennie McKnight of Orlando, Florida, Hannah Henning of Hopkins, Missouri and Lois Copeland of Maryville; four brothers, Will of Blanchard, Ad of Washington, Jim of Chicago, and Frank of Lincoln, Nebraska.

The funeral services were held at the Wetmore Funeral Home Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Gordon F. MacLean. Burial was in the Fairview cemetery.

JAMES CASKEY.—Page County is not behind other counties in the State of Iowa in its indebtedness to the beautiful " Emerald Isle," which has given up so many of her sons and daughters to the settlement of the New World. Prominent among this number is James Caskey, who was born in county Londonderry, Ireland, July 17, 1802. He is a son of John and Ann (Dun) Caskey, and during his youth assisted his father in his flax-mill, and worked at farming. He remained in his native land until 1828, when he set sail for America; after landing he remained in Philadelphia for a few months, and then went to Mobile, Alabama, afterward locating on a farm in Greene County, Alabama.
Mr. Caskey was married January 29 1829, to Catherine Mawhinney, a daughter of Alexander and Jane (Dunn) Mawhinney, natives of county Londonderry, Ireland, who emigrated to America in 1820. Catherine is the second child of a family of eight; she was born in county Londonderry, Ireland, October 29, 1806. After they were married they lived on the farm in Greene County, where they continued to reside until 1852, when they removed to Cook County, Illinois; when living in this county Mr. Caskey shipped the first corn to Chicago that was transported on the Illinois Central Railroad. In October, 1856, the family landed in Page County, Iowa, where they have since made their home. In making the journey they first went to St. Louis by rail, thence by boat to St. Joseph, Missouri, and the remainder of the way in wagons. Mr. Caskey entered his farm, which consisted of 160 acres, from the Government; it was wild land without any improvements; he erected a building 16x24 feet, and when finally they were housed in this comfortable dwelling a happier or more contented family could not have been found in Page County. It was not a life of luxury or ease, which they led for many years to come, but one of industry and continued effort; the trials and privations of pioneer life were met unflinchingly, and every exertion was made to add to the prosperity of the family and community. The growth and development of the county has been largely forwarded by Mr. Caskey.
In those days neighbors were few, but the social qualities were cultivated none the less. In the lack of a house of worship our esteemed subject opened his own dwelling, where the settlers for miles around met for religious service. The first communion was administered by the Rev. Joseph McCracken of the Reformed Presbyterian Church; he was the first regular pastor employed by the society. Mr. Caskey and his family have ever been active workers in the cause of their Master, and have thus contributed to the advancement of the community.
Ten children have been born to Mr. Caskey and wife: John died while in the service of his country, being a member of the Filth Iowa Cavalry, Company C. He passed away at Paducah, Kentucky, his death being caused by disease contracted at Ft. Donelson; Jane, the widow of William Brown, deceased, and her two daughters are still living on their farm in Harlan Township; Alexander died in July, 1889; William died in Illinois; James M. is a farmer, residing in Harlan Township; [page 671] Mary Ann is at home; Sampson died while in the service at Florence, South Carolina, January 13, 1865, having served three years; he was a member of the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, and was a prisoner in the Confederate army at the time of his death; Robert G. resides on a farm in Harlan Township; Joseph F. lives on the old homestead, and Isaac B., who larms in Harlan Township.
Joseph F. and Mary Ann are living with their aged parents, caring for them as only a son and daughter can do; they cheerfully per form this filial duty, and have the esteem and respect of the whole neighborhood.
While residing in the South Mr. Caskey was opposed to slave-holding, and always advocated its abolition.

Alexander McKeown was born December 12, 1830, and is the sixth child of a family of eleven children of Alexander and Rose (Glasgow) McKeown. The parents were natives of county Antrim, Ireland, where they were reared and married. In 1823 they bade farewell to their native land, and sailed away to America; the first year they spent in Belmont County, Ohio, thence removing to Harrison County, Ohio; there they entered land from the Government and made their home the remainder of their days. The father died in 1853, and the mother survived until 1886. Mr. McKeown was a farmer by occupation and brought up his sons to the same employment. He was a man, quiet and unassuming, and strove to inculcate the principles of right and truth in the hearts of his children. The family are named as follows: Henry, John, James, deceased; Adam, deceased; Mary J., wife of Samuel Andress; Alexander, Arthur G., Levina, wife of Robert Logan; Rose A., deceased, was wife of William Forsyth, also deceased; Glasgow, deceased, and William.

Alexander, Jr., received a common school education, and previous to his marriage he taught two terms of school. In December 1858, he came to eastern Iowa, and remained there almost one year. He then returned to his old home, and November 16, 1854, he was united in marriage to Miss H.J. Alexander who died December 4, 1862. By this union three children were born; John A. and James U., both residents of Harlan Township, and Mary R., deceased. Mr. McKeown was again married November 29, 1864, to Miss Jane Clarke, who was born in Guernsey County, Ohio, May 19, 1830. One child has been born of this marriage, Henry E., residing at home.

In 1855 our subject removed to Washington County, Iowa, where he remained three years, after which he came to Page County. He spent the first winter in a temporary residence, and during that time erected a frame dwelling on a tract of sixty acres in Harlan Township. In the summer of 1862 he went back to Ohio, and in the spring of 1864 he returned to his farm in Page County. He was added to his first purchase until at one time he had 320 acres; he sold forty acres, and has deeded eighty acres to each of two sons.

When he first came to the county the land was as it had been left by the red man, but time and energy have wrought great changes, and to-day the McKeown farm is one of the best improved in Page County; there is a fine frame residence, and good buildings for stock and grain have been erected by the present owner. Having led a life of honesty and integrity, he numbers his friends by the score, and has a standing second to none in the county.

Mr. and Mrs. McKeown have lived to see the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage, and were assisted in celebrating this event by almost 100 friends. They are active works in the Reformed Presbyterian Church.

146 Biographical record of the counties of Harrison and Carroll, Ohio. Chicago, J. H. Beers & Co., 1891, pp495-496.
William McKeown, a well known and progressive farmer of Freeport Township, Harrison County, was born here August 28, 1842. His father, Alexander McKeown, was born in Ireland, and in 1824 came to America, and located in Belmont County, Ohio, where he remained until 1826, when he entered the farm on which his son William now resides, in Harrison County. Before leaving Ireland, Alexander was married to Rose Ann Glasgow, whose parents came to Guernsey County, Ohio. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McKeown were Henry, John, James (deceased), Alexander, Adam (deceased), Arthur, William, Mary Jane, Lavina and Rosa A. The father, who was a weaver by trade, in politics a Whig, died in 1851, his wife surviving him until April 1886. He was a man of kindly disposition and of great strength of character, and was respected by all.
William McKeown was reared on the home place, and farming has always been his vocation, while the common schools were the advantages he enjoyed in the matter of educational facilities. In 1862 he enlisted in the Eighty-seventh O.V. I., Company H, and was went to Baltimore, as well as to Harper's Ferry. While at the latter place the regiment was captured, but the members thereof were paroled, and Mr. McKeown then returned home. On May 14, 1867, he chose as his life's partner Nancy J. Tidrick, daughter of Robert Tidrick of Guernsey County, Ohio. The young couple immediately settled on the home place, where they remained until 1885, when they went to Missouri, remaining there, however, but three years, when they returned to the home place, where they have since resided. In politics Mr. McKeown is a Republican, heartily supporting his ticket, and has served in various offices of honor, among which may be mentioned that of trustee for several terms. He is the father of two children: Mary and James G., the latter now deceased, and of whom the following obituary appeared in a local paper:

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.
The family worship at the United Presbyterian Church at Londonderry, of which the parents have been members for many years. Mr. McKeown engages in general farming and also deals quite extensively in stock. He is now the only representative of this family, which have been so long and favorably known in this locality.
