    Burlington Weekly Hawk Eye, Burlington, Iowa. Thursday, 4 June 1874


    Morning Sun Herald, 25 August 1887.
    I would say most of the settlers here are from the vicinity of Morning Sun and all are well excepting Mr. Henry McKeown who came here a little over a year ago, from Linn Grove. Mr. McKeown received a paralytic stroke on last Monday, as he was rising from a chair to give to his son as he entered his house, he fell in the arms of his son Robert McKeown. Mr. McKeown immediately lost his speech and the power of his right side. At this writing he is some better, but can only speak. It is hoped that he will recover his speech.


    NOTE: Henry did not move to Superior, Nebraska. All census records show him and his family in Yellow Springs, Des Moines County, Iowa.


    From Yellow Spring and Huron: A local history. By J. W. Merrill. Published by author in 1897. Book in Wisconsin Historical Society Library. Pages 133-134. May 12, 1848, two young men, Henry and John McKeown, landed in Burlington and came directly to Yellow Spring township, and entered land. Henry entered the land on which he lived for many years. After securing his home he returned to Ohio and married. His wife came with him to his western home, but she lived only a short time. Later he made another trip to Ohio, and married Rebecca Paxton. He lived on his farm and raised his family of seven children, all of whom went to Superior, Nebraska as they became of age. The parents moved there later, where the father died in a few years. This branch of the family are all in the west.

    John married Ann Parker, daughter of John and Margaret Parker, in 1848. He lived on this original farm till 1865, when he sold to R. M. Wilson, and bought 240 acres of Wm. Lyon, on the Wapello road, where he lived till after the death of his wife which occurred March 7th, 1892. There were twelve children born to these parents; three died in childhood. Those living are Sarah J., James A., Mary L., Moses P. lives at Myrtle, Iowa, John L., Perry, Ok. , Samantha, Burlington, Emma, Ira, Eau Claire, Wis., Albert, Burlington. The father now has his home with his son James.

    Text taken from page 1069 of:
    Beers, J. H. and Co., Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1893).
    Transcribed March 1997 by Neil and Marilyn Morton of Oswego, IL as part of the Beers Project.
    Published March 1997 on the Washington County, PA USGenWeb pages at http://www.chartiers.com/.

    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.

    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.

    History of Muscatine County Iowa, Volume II, Biographical, 1911, page 701

    M. PARKER McKEOWN. M. Parker McKeown, a well known farmer of Cedar township, where he has made his home for more than twenty years, was born in Des Moines county, Iowa, December 1, 1852.

    He is a son of John and Annie (PARKER) McKeown, who came with their parents from Ireland to America in their childhood, living first in Ohio and later in Iowa. They were married in Des Moines county and there continued until their deaths. The father at one time was the owner of one hundred and eighty acres of land, all of which he divided among his children except forty acres that he owned at the time of his death. He was a man of many fine qualities and a great lover of his family. Of the eleven children comprising the home circle two died in infancy, the others being : Sarah, now of Mediapolis, Iowa ; James, who lives near Morning Sun, Iowa ; Mary, now deceased ; M. Parker, our subject ; John, who lives near Prairie City, Oklahoma ; Samantha, of Mediapolis ; Emma, of Burlington, Iowa ; Ira, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin ; and Albert, of St. Joseph, Missouri.

    Reared on the home farm, M. Parker McKeown early became familiar with the labors of the field. He was educated in the country schools, gaining the foundation upon which he has been enabled to build successfully until he is now a man of good general information. He continued at home until twenty-one years of age and then worked for wages for a short time, after which he came to Conesville, Muscatine county, and purchased one hundred and eighty acres of land. There he lived until 1888, when he sold out and removed to Cedar township, acquiring fifty-seven acres, the nucleus of the well improved farm of two hundred and seventeen acres which he now owns. He is also the owner of property on East Hill, Muscatine, and his wife owns one hundred and sixty acres of good farming land in Orono township. By close attention to his business Mr. McKeown has attained a gratifying measure of success.

    On the 12th of January, 1881, Mr. McKeown was united in marriage to Miss RHODA E. LORD, who was born in Muscatine county, May 7, 1851. She is a daughter of Richard and JANE SMALLEY Lord, the mother having been born in Ohio, October 27, 1822, and the father in Connecticut, January 10, 1809.
    They were married in Iowa in 1840 and settled on a farm in Muscatine county, where Mr. Lord made his home for about forty years. He was called from earthly scenes in 1886, while his wife died in 1857. Of the nine children in their family, three are now living : Katie, of Conesville ; Rhoda E., now Mrs. McKeown ; and Richard J., of Nichols, Iowa . Those deceased are: Andrew, Albert, Edward, Byron, Manza, and Herman.

    Two children came to brighten the home of Mr. and Mrs. McKeown :
    ADA R., born October 14, 1883 ; and
    ALBERT G., April 8, 1886.

    Politically Mr. McKeown adheres to the republican party and heartily supports its principles. He has served with general acceptance as justice of the peace. He and his wife are affiliated with the United brethren church, being active workers in its behalf and also in worthy causes for the welfare of others. Mrs. McKeown is a graduate of the Muscatine high school and for nine years before her marriage taught school, becoming recognized as one of the thoroughly capable teachers of the county. She is a woman of many attractive qualities of mind and heart.

    McKEOWN's HOMEPLACE, Harlan Twp., Page Co., IA.
    By Phyllis (Dunn) Fulk, 1996, Pg177
    "Covenanter Cemetery Families"

    Note by Phyllis Fulk:
    In early 1940 on the way to Covenanter Church one Sabbath morning, my mother noticed machinery lined up as for sale on the Henry McKEOWN farm. She told Dad he should check and see if the farm was for sale. He did, and sold a team of horses for down payment. We lived south of Shambaugh and half way to College Springs, quite aways from church and Clarinda. There was Mom and Dad, six of us children, Grandpa and Grandma Dunn, so what a thrill to move to the McKEOWN place with four bedrooms upstairs and one down. A wood (or coal) burning furnace in the basement with a register to every room. A large porch across the south and east sides of the house. A beautiful staircase and large rooms with a big bay window out of the dining room and also the bedroom upstairs. There was no electricity or bath in the bathroom (no one else had that either) but there was water in and out of the kitchen. A huge crock sat beside the sink and if you pumped the pump (down hill east af the house) 300 times it would fill and have plenty of water to use. The water was piped out of the sink and ran down into the lower front yard. There was a house just back of the main house with two rooms which we called "the old house" and used for storage and the cream separator, where the Alex McKEOWNS had lived, it may have been attached to the house at one time. The Dunn family lived on the McKEOWN farm for twenty-five years. In 1947 electricity came to the country and a good hard surfaced "oiled" road was made to the church.

    In the 1910 census Charles and Rose have several children living with them ( children who may not be their own children since they had been married for only six years): Mary, age 15, Clara, age 10, Merta, age 9, Frederick, age 8, Margaret, age 7, Rose age 5, and their son Karl age 3.

    In the 1920 census, the only children listed in the household of Charles and Rose are their sons Karl and Allan.

    In the 1930 US census both brothers appear again together as boarders in San Francisco, California.
    In the 1930 US census Rose (McKeown) Bausch, age 58, is listed as a widow in the household of her brother Howard McKeown in Tulsa, Oklahoma.




    Mrs. Rose Bausch and boys, Karl and Allen, left his week for Casper, Wyo., to make their home, as Mr. Bausch is located there, working at his trade, that of carpenter and contractor. They would have gone sooner, but the boys were students in the Rushville schools and their parents wished them to remain until the close of school.

    Mrs. Rose Bausch and son Karl returned Wednesday from Casper. We understand that it is the intention of the family to again locate here, as times in Casper are on the decline and there is little doing there. Besides, the boys wish to attend the Rushville schools.

    Mrs. Rose Bausch and son Allan of Rushville were in town from Wednesday until Thursday morning visiting friends, while on their way from Rushville to Tulsa, Oklahoma where they will make their home with her brother, Dr. McKeown.

    Asks $20,000 in Alienation Suite
    O’Neill, Neb., Aug. 14 – Mrs. Rose Bausch, by her attorney M.F. Harrington, has filed in the office of the clerk of the district court a petition asking for $20,000 damages from Mary A. Chase, of Page, Nebraska for alleged alienation of affections of her husband, Charles Bausch.
    The Orchard News, Orchard, Nebraska. Friday, 17 August 1928.


    Bausch vs Chase Case Dismissed In District Court
    The alienation of affection case of Bausch vs. Chase “blew up” in court Tuesday afternoon and was dismissed on motion of the plaintiffs attorney. This is the case wherein Mrs. Rose Bausch sues Mrs. Chase for $20,000 claiming that Mrs. Chase had taken the affections of her husband, Charles Bausch, from her to the above amount. A jury had been selected and Rose Bausch put on the stand, and after a few questions a letter was presented as evidence by the defendant that Mrs. Bausch had written to Henry Bausch sometime ago. The jury was excused while the letter was being submitted and after reading the letter, M.F. Harrington who represented the plaintiff, asked to have the case dismissed saying it was not his case and he had not gone into it, and that he had no knowledge of conditions as stated in the latter.
    The judge dismissed the case.
    The Frontier and Holt county Independent, O’Neill, Nebraska. Friday, 22 March 1929.


    Audience Disappointed When Case Is Dismissed
    A court room filled with an attentive crowd apparently eager to hear morsels of scandal, became an audience disappointed when the 25 thousand dollar alienation of affection suit of Mrs. Rose Bausch against Mrs. Mary A. Chase was dismissed by Judge Dickson in district court Tuesday, after counsel for the plaintiff withdrew from the case.
    Mrs. Bausch sued Mrs. Chase for damages sustained, she alleged, bu the alienation of her husband’s affections by the defendant. The plaintiff took the stand and testified to her relationship with her husband prior to the time she alleged he became acquainted and infatuated with Mrs. Chase. On cross examination she admitted writing a lengthy letter to a brother of her husband. This letter was then turned over to her lawyer for approval or objection. Upon reading the letter, counsel for Mrs. Bausch withdrew from the case, claiming that his client had not told him the truth about the matter.
    The plaintiff thereupon requested the court to dismiss the case without prejudice to a future action. This was complied with and the jury discharged from further service in the case. M.F. Harrington was attorney for the plaintiff and J.D. Cronin for defendant.

    Miss Mary Adams, who has been laboring in China since the fall of 1912, leaving home Oct. 28, of that year and Rev. Richard C. Adams and Belle Edgar Adams, his wife, who sailed from the home land Aug. 30, 1917, to take up the work in China.
    The Sterling Kansas Bulletin, Sterling, Kansas. Thursday, 29 November 1917.


    IN MEMORIAM MARY ADAMS
    The Sterling Women' s Missionary Society recalls with gratitude the long, faithful, and devoted ministry of Miss Mary Adams for Christ and His church. Her public ministry began in youth at the Indian Mission. In 1912 she was appointed as an evangelistic missionary to China and her love and care for Chinese people continued to the day of her death, December 13, 1974. When detained from China during World War II, she served in our Kentucky Mission, but later returned to China. When missionaries were forced out of China by the advance of the Communists, she went to Japan with our missionaries who opened up work there. When she reached retirement age she moved to Wichita, Kansas and went almost daily into Chinese homes there to teach the Bible. Blindness, increasing deafness, and declining physical strength did not lessen her zeal or diminish her faithfulness. Her selfless, untiring devotion will continue to be a challenge to the whole church. Truly she was faithful unto death and now has received the crown of life that does not fade away. "This is not death, but triumph and reward: To walk by faith through all life's little day And then, at eventide, to meet the Lord And hand in hand with Him to go away. "This is not death — this is abundant life, Eternal life, the freeing of the soul For bliss beyond earth's time of toil and strife This is not death, but the immortal goal."

    Cooper Courier, Sterling, Kansas. Tuesday, 27 March 1917.


    An engagement that will be of interest to a large circle of friends of the young couple was announced last Friday evening, to a company of the young lady friends of Miss Belle Edgar, who informed her friends of her coming marriage to Richard C. Adams who is now a student in the White Bible school in New York City completing his preparations to leave in the fall as a missionary to China. The announcement of the coming nuptials was made at a delightful little affair which was given Friday evening by Miss Edgar at her home. An interesting feature of the affair was the fact that the announcement of her engagement was made on the thirty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of her parents and the affair was also a celebration of that event. The announcement was made in a unique manner. Printed slips were passed bearing two statements, both of which were badly ‘pied.” When the jumbled letter were property arranged the first was found to be a statement of the anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar and the second told of the coming wedding. When the coming event was know the bride-to-be was showered with good wishes by the guests. During the evening a two course lunch was served and later the guest inspected the pretty new Edgar home from garret to cellar. The date of the coming wedding was not announced, but it will be an event of the coming summer and the couple will leave the first of September to take up their work in China. Miss Edgar is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Edgar of this city and Mr. Adams is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Adams, also of Sterling. Both are graduates of Cooper college and have a large circle of friends in Sterling and community to whom the announcement of the coming nuptials will be of much interest. After finishing his course at Cooper, Mr. Adams took a course in the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary, at Pittsburgh, Pa., and became a licensed minister. After finished his course there he went to New York to make special preparation for his missionary work.

    Mr. Crawford was a quiet and unassuming man, a kind an helpful friend and neighbor, faithful in the discharge of every duty. With the tender solicitude of a father he assumed responsibility for his sister’s four orphaned children. The latter part of his life was marked with weakness and suffering, but his affliction was borne with a patient resignation which told of a genuine faith in the sovereign wisdom and goodness of God.
    Those remaining to mourn Mr. Crawford’s passing are his sister, Celia Crawford, Loveland, Color.; two nephews and one niece, Charles C. Moranville, Sparks, Nevada, Walter C. Moranville, Arvada, Col., and Ruth (Moranville) Tjaden, Madrid, Neb.; also four grandnieces, four grandnephews, together with other relatives, neighbors and friends.

    CONESVILLE MAYOR HELD FOR MURDER Accused of Shooting Dr. A. R. 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

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.

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.

    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.

    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.”

    Obituary
    Arthur George Caskey was born near Clarinda, Page county, Iowa, December 4, 1876, and passed away Monday morning July 2, 1934, at the age of 57 years, six months and 28 day.
    Mr. Caskey spent his early childhood on the farm completing the grad school, after which he attended Amity college for two years, at College Springs six miles south of the old home.
    He united with the Clarinda congregation of the Reformed Presbyterian church in early manhood. Coming to Oklahoma in 1901 his membership was transferred to the Billings congregation.
    He engaged for a short time in the draying business in Billings giving this up to take charge of the North Valley school which he taught for two and one-half years. He continued to teach in Noble and Garfield counties for several years. In the fall of 1905 he took a homestead in Beaver county.
    He was united in marriage on June 24, 1908, to Caroline Klufa to which union six children were born, one dying in infancy. After marriage they made their home on the homestead in Beaver county where he continued to teach school and farm. Leaving Beaver county in 1914 he moved to Helena where he operated a flour mill for six years. In 1920 he moved to Enid and from there to North Enid in 1921 where he resided until his death.
    He was continually engaged in church work wherever located, being superintendent of the Sunday school six years while in Helena.
    He became afflicted with mastoid infection in1920 which inflicted severe suffering. He underwent three operations for this trouble which left him in a weakened condition, from which he never fully recovered.
    In this affliction he did not complain, leaving all to the Heavenly Father in whom he was taught to trust in childhood. We who are left know that we mourn not as those who have no hope and let us pray that we may be as well prepared as he to meet our Creator when the summons comes.
    Besides the widow of the home he leaves five children, Ruth, Eugene, Thelma, Lorene and Lawrence to mourn his loss.
    Father and mother, one brother and one sister preceded him in death. He is survived by five brother and four sisters located as follows: S.J. Caskey of Enid, Mrs. Rose Hensley of Ft. Morgan, Colo., Mrs. B.C. Terry of Ocou, Fla., C.J. Caskey of Independence, Kans., Mrs. Edith Bellmon of Billings, J.A. Caskey of Fairview, Albert Caskey of Ponca City, Glen Caskey of Wellington, Kans., and Mrs. Beth Zimmerman of Billings.
    Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.W. Strauss of Jefferson, assisted by Rev. J.N. Sours, of Enid. Burial was in Billings cemetery.

    Notes:

    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.
