• Notes

  From: Biographical record of the counties of Harrison and Carroll, Ohio. Chicago, J. H. Beers & Co., 1891, pp495-496. 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. https://archive.org/details/commemorativebio00jhb [2, 5] Jim McKEOWN, dies at his home near Freeport, Ohio [6]
