McKeown MUSCATINE, George Brown, 78, Conesville mayor, was charged with first degree murder Tuesday afternoon in the death of Dr. A. R. McKeown, 63, farm operator near Conesville. Deputy Sheriff L. G. Pace said McKeown told him in a statement before the retired physician was taken to a hospital that Brown had shot him. The information charging the mayor with murder was signed by Deputy Sheriff L. G. Pace. Brought before Justice of the Peace L. A. Crull, Brown waived preliminary hearing and was committed to the county jail without bond. A short time earlier Sheriff Fred B. Nesper said he and an agent of the Iowa bureau of in investigation were questioning Brown in connection with the death of the one-time Seattle Wash., physician whose brother served a term in the penitentiary for killing their mother. Wounds Prove Fatal. Dr. McKeown died Tuesday morning in an Iowa City hospital of gunshot wounds in the back. The sheriff said the mayor admitted seeing the farm operator Monday, but denied any part in the incident. Following the death, State Agent Dwight Bender came here to assist in the investigation which the sheriff said was intensified immediately. Dr. McKeown was shot in the back Monday, apparently by a shotgun, as he was rounding up cattle on his farm, about 18 miles west of Muscatine. The horse he was riding brought him to his home. Mrs. Stuart Conklin, a neighbor, noticed the horse and rider and called other neighbors who notified the sheriff's office. The doctor was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, after giving Deputy Sheriff Pace a statement. Sheriff Nesper said Brown owns a farm near the McKeown place. Leaves Practice For Farm. Dr. McKeown attended the University of Iowa medical college three years and finished his studies in Denver in 1910, members of the family said. He served as a major in the medical corps in World War I. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Priscilla of Mt Pleasant; his father, M. P. McKeown of Conesville, and a brother, Albert, of Muscatine County. A son, Lovelll, was killed in World War II. His wife and mother are dead. The- doctor's mother, Mrs. Rhoda Emma McKeown, then 82, was killed at Seattle in March, 1932, while on a visit at the home of another son, Dr. Albert G. McKeown, then 45, and a Seattle dentist. Her body was found in the basement of Albert's home. The dentist was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 12 to 25 years in prison. On the completion of his term he returned to Muscatine County, where his physician-brother already was residing. Since then both professional men have operated farms near each other in the Conesville vicinity. Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil - Wednesday, October 30, 1946 Muscatine Evening Journal, 15 October 1905. Page 4.. Shot in the leg. Ady McKeown shot by ruffian at St. Louis Fair gate. Refused to let the man in. Ady McKeown roomed at Y.M.C.A. building and taught school south of this city last winter - shot at midnight -he will recover. Ady McKeown, who roomed at the Y.M.C.A. building and taught school south of this city last winter, was shot in the left leg between the knee and hip Monday near midnight at the St. Louis world's fair ticket gate. Mr. McKeown was ticket man and refused to let two men in on one pass. This made one of the ruffians so furious that after a wrangle he shot Mr. McKeown. The couple immediately fled after the shooting. Mr. McKeown was taken to the Emergency hospital within the fair grounds and later by his request to the Sanitarium in St. Louis where the bullet was extracted. Mrs. S. A. McKeown, his aunt, who is a trained nurse in Burlington, (Ia.) was telegraphed and arrived at his bedside as soon as a St. Louis bound train could take her there. News of the shooting was received Thursday by the wounded man's brother, Albert McKeown, who rooms at the Y.M.C.A. building and is employed by the Batterson Stores. His brother Albert says from the latest reports that he has received his condition was somewhat better and probably would recover. The two ruffians are not know or as yet report to have been caught. Muscatine Evening Journal, 28 October 1904. Page 2. Shot by soldiers. Former Muscatine boy victim of artillerymen's prank. Artillerymen were responsible for the shooting of Ady McKeown, a former Muscatine boy in St. Louis October 10, according to a letter received this morning. The account of the shooting was given in the Journal recently in which it was stated that Mr. McKeown was shot by robbers. Later advices indicate that abusive artillerymen who were determined to enter the world's fair grounds, where Mr. McKeown was a gate keeper, were responsible for his injury. The victim is recovering nicely. | McKeown, Ady Royal (I36)

| 3267 | The following account of the death of Mrs. George Bellmon, a former Sedan resident, was published in the Billings (Okla.) News: Nettie Jane Hays was born May 1, 1872 at Centralia, Illinois and the following year her parents moved to Chautauqua County, Kansas, where she spent her childhood days and grew to womanhood. She received her education at sedan, Kansas, and there she gained a host of friends who have loved her all her life. She was so sincere and true that she was loved by all who knew her. It was here she confessed her faith in Christianity at the age of fifteen, and lived a noble Christian live the rest of her days. She has tried to implant in the lives of her children those principles which are eternal. In 1894 she was married to George Delbert Bellmon of Sedan. They spent two happy years of their married life near that place. After that time they moved to Oklahoma and settled on a farm seven miles east of Billings, where they have lived ever since. To this union were born seven daughters and two sons. She has been a very kind, devoted mother and all her children can say: “All I am, and all I ever hope to be I owe to my angel mother.” She has been given the fruit of her hands and her own works will praise her in the gates. She was a dear lover of home and very devoted to her husband and children. The last two years her health has been gradually failing. She spent most of the summer in Colorado in hope of regaining her health, but this and all medical aid was of no avail. Her health seemed to build up considerably at the time, but later she began failing. She was taken to the hospital at Wichita, where she spent about four weeks. There she gradually grew worse and was brought to Tonkawa, to the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. G.A. Hays, so she could be closer to her doctor. She seemed to be as well as usual until Saturday night when she became very much worse. She then realized she would have to leave this world. She called her children to her bedside one by one and told them her hopes and ambitions for their future. Those last words of mother shall always be very precious to each of them and shall have a great influence on their future life. By thpse words which she expressed one would know that her whole life had gone out for her husband and children. That her whole life had been spent for making the world better. She passed away Sunday, November 19th at 5 a.m. of Bright’s disease. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband and nine children, one sister and two brother and many relatives and friends. Mrs. Bellmon was loved by all who knew her and counted her friends by her acquaintances. She was always ready to help other, but seldom asked favors from anyone. She was a gentle, cheerful, helpful character who had a great interest in the good of her community. The funeral services were held at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church in Tankawa, conducted by Rev. Lowell of that place. His text was taken from John 14. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. She was laid to rest in the Prairie View cemetery to await the Resurrection morn.

| 3269 | The following information is taken from: Beers, J. H. and Co., Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1893). MRS. NANCY C. ROLLSTIN, one of the most popular and intelligent ladies of Buffalo township, was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, January 8, 1829. She is the daughter of John and Jane (McGuffin) Adams. John Adams was a native of Ireland, who came to America when eighteen years old. He first located in Washington county, Penn., where he spent several years as a farm hand. Removing to Guernsey county, Ohio, he invested his savings in land, and prepared a rude home in the wilderness. The humble "cage" being prepared, he returned to Washington county to secure the bird, and three months later brought his bride, Miss Jane McGuffin, to the pioneer cabin. Together the young couple began to build their home, and here were born to them the following eight children: Thomas, Elizabeth, Nancy C., Mary J., Margaret, Ann, William P. and Rebecca E. Of these children, Thomas, Elizabeth and Margaret are deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Adams passed the remainder of their days on the old farm, where the first years of their married life were spent, and where their youngest son, William P., still resides. In religion they were Covenanters of the Old School, and the religious training of the family was that strict type, characteristic of the denomination. Nancy C. Adams, the subject proper of this sketch, was first married October 23, 1849, to James McKeown, whose parents emigrated from the Province of Munster, Ireland, when he was one year old, or in 1824. In the spring of 1850, the young couple located in Harrison county, Ohio, with buoyant spirits and bright prospects for the future; but, alas! how little we know of what the future has in store for us. Only three short months had passed since beginning housekeeping, when on June 29, 1850, Mr. McKeown, in assisting in tearing down a frame barn, received injuries from a fall which caused his death, July 7, 1850. Mrs. McKeown now returned to the home of her parents, where her son James A. was born January 9, 1851, and where she continued to make her home until April, 1858, when she was again married; this time to John Rollstin, a son of James Rollstin, of Buffalo township. James Rollstin was born in Ireland in 1785, and emigrated to this country when quite young. He was united in marriage with Miss Nancy McGuffin March 29, 1810, and to them were born five sons and eight daughters: William, John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Esther, Rebecca, Jane, Nancy, Martha, Margaret, James, Porter and Rachel. Of these, only three are now living: Esther (Mrs. Knox, of Claysville), Martha (Mrs. McDowell, of Iowa), and Rachel (Mrs. Woods, of Iowa). John Rollstin was born December 18, 1812, in Buffalo township, and was reared on the farm, receiving a common-school education. His first wife was Eliza Finley, of East Finley township, and to them were born two daughters: Nancy J., born in 1844, and Mattie E., in 1847. Nancy J. married John Allender, and is now deceased; Mattie E. married E. H. Stringham, of Ringgold county, Iowa, where she now resides. The mother died in 1856, and Mr. Rollstin afterward married Nancy (Adams) McKeown. The children born of this union were: Lizzie J., June 4, 1859, and Anna R., May 31, 1861. Lizzie J. was married to R. J. McCleery, of West Finley township, in the fall of 1883. She died January 16, 1888. Anna R. was married to W. H. Craig in the spring of 1887. Mr. Craig died August 9, 1891, since which time Anna has made her home with her mother. Politically, John Rollstin was a Republican, an active supporter of his party, and in religion a devout and consistent member of the U. P. Church. Mrs. Rollstin is also a member of the U. P. Church of Claysville, and enjoys the respect of all who know her. By the death of John Rollstin, which occurred April 6, 1864, Mrs. R. was again left a widow. Assuming the management of the farm, her business capacity and thrift enabled her not only to support herself and family, besides hiring the labor done, but to lay something by for a "rainy day." Her son, J. A. McKeown, was a teacher in the public schools for eighteen winters. In the fall of 1877 he was united in marriage with Lizzie J., daughter of A. K. Craig. Three children were born to them, all of whom are deceased. Mrs. McKeown died December 2, 1884. Mr. McKeown selected, as his second wife, Ethilind Brimner, of Burgettstown, with whom he was united in marriage August 29, 1888. They have one son, Clark B., now living. A daughter, Mary L., died June 22, 1891, aged thirteen months. Mr. McKeown is a justly popular young man, winning many friends by his recognized ability and genial courtesy of manner. He successfully manages his mother's farm, which consists of 100 acres of good land lying south of the National pike, in Buffalo township, as well as eighty acres of his own in East Finley township, two miles south of the home farm, and also devotes much attention to stock raising. Politically, he is a straight Republican, and is now serving his second term as county auditor, a position for which he is well qualified, both by natural inclination and intellectual training. | Adams, Nancy C.

His first wife was Eliza Finley, of East Finley township, and to them were born two daughters: Nancy J., born in 1844, and Mattie E., in 1847. Nancy J. married John Allender, and is now deceased; Mattie E. married E. H. Stringham, of Ringgold county, Iowa, where she now resides. The mother died in 1856, and Mr. Rollstin afterward married Nancy (Adams) McKeown. The children born of this union were: Lizzie J., June 4, 1859, and Anna R., May 31, 1861. Lizzie J. was married to R. J. McCleery, of West Finley township, in the fall of 1883. She died January 16, 1888. Anna R. was married to W. H. Craig in the spring of 1887. Mr. Craig died August 9, 1891, since which time Anna has made her home with her mother. Politically, John Rollstin was a Republican, an active supporter of his party, and in religion a devout and consistent member of the U. P. Church. Mrs. Rollstin is also a member of the U. P. Church of Claysville, and enjoys the respect of all who know her. By the death of John Rollstin, which occurred April 6, 1864, Mrs. R. was again left a widow. Assuming the management of the farm, her business capacity and thrift enabled her not only to support herself and family, besides hiring the labor done, but to lay something by for a "rainy day." | Rollstin, John McGuffin (I364)
