Notes - Death Overtakes Mrs. McKeown After Illness
Mrs. Elizabeth McKeown died Sunday at the age of 70. She had been ill for a short time with pneumonia. Six sons and a daughter survive her.
With her husband, Mrs. McKeown came to this community more than 52 years ago. They homesteaded the farm in Jewell county southeast of Superior where she died.
A funeral service was conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon by C.O. Olson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Superior. Burial was in the Webber Cemetery.
Elizabeth J. Barclay was born Nov. 5, 1863 in Des Moines county, Iowa and died near Superior, Nebr., Dec. 17, 1933 aged 70 years, 1 month, 12 days. In early life she united with the Methodist church at Mediapolis, Iowa.
She was married to Alexander McKeown Feb 10, 1881 who preceded her in death on Oct. 12, 1922. In the spring of 1881 they came west, and homesteaded the farm on which she died. To this union were born six sons and one daughter, who were all present when the mother passed away: Irwin of Webber, Kan.; Ross, Waldo and Tom of Superior; Herbert of Cadams; Clifford of Kansas City, Mo.; and Mrs. Edith Smith of McCook. Also surviving are eight brothers and one sister; John of Bellingham, Wash., Alex of Manchester, Kans., Tom of Superior, Wilse of Abilene, Kan., Jesse of Kansas City, Mo., Guy of Topeka, Kan., and Hettie Nicholson of Superior, Nebr.
Mrs. McKeown was a woman with a mind thoughtful for the comfort and welfare of others, with a tongue ever kind of say the cheering and loving words, with hands ever busy to bring material aid to all. She was most active in the Auxiliary and untiring worker in the Valley View club, but most of all hers was a mother heart, always looking forward to times when her family could be united again, planning for their pleasure.
The Superior Express, Superior, Nebraska. Thursday, 21 December 1933.
