Tabor,
Iowa
Various
dates in 1896
Keenan, Baylor. Little
Baylor's death was announced Sunday night. This came as a shock to
all our town people. Baylor was an unusually bright little fellow,
loved by all who knew him, and his sudden taking away has cast a
shadow of gloom over the entire community. The stricken mother has
the sympathy of all in her sorrow. Two years ago, Mr. Keenan died,
and since then Mrs. Keenan has had all her plans centralized in her
darling child. Little Baylor was 4 years old on 10 July 1895 and
died last Sunday evening. Tabor Beacon - 10 Jan 1896 (Thurman
