Keenan, C.S. - C. S. Keenan died Sept. 15th, at his home in Shenandoah, after a long illness. He was 64 years of age. Mr. Keenan located at that place in 1869 with the locating of the town, and had since made it his home. His was rather a strenuous career, as lawyer pollution and home town man, and ever fighting for what he thought was right. He was an active republican until 1896, when he espoused the cause of W. J. Bryan and predicted his ultimate election as president. Mr. Keenan leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death. The funeral took place last Thursday at 4 p. m., under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of that city, Rev. W. W. Merritt of Red Oak, delivering the sermon. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 24, 1908

Notice of the death and burial of John H. Keenan appeared in Tuesday's Issue. We then said he was an old soldier and a member of the local G. A. R. Post, but we did not say he was honest. This we took for granted would be understood. The writer, however, still bears on every hand the remark that John H, Keenan was an honest man. He naturally asks himself whether an honest man is so rare at this beginning of the twentieth century, that when one is found, his name is on every tongue. We inquire what it was about the honesty of John Keenan that makes it the favorite and common topic of conversation of those he left behind. Was it merely because he was scrupulously honest? No; other men have been equally honest. But perhaps the men have been few who endured the sacrifices to be honest that John Keenan endured. Why do the men feel it worthy of remark that this man was honest? Because many times he borrowed five, ten or fifteen dollars of these same men to tide him over the hard places, or to buy the the necessaries of life for his family, and more than once did he go hungry that he might repay these amounts, dollar for dollar. It is an easy thing for a man worth a hundred tnousand dollars to be honest, for his sacrifice is involved in doing so, but the man who is religiously honest, even at the expense of satisfying hunger, is a hero.
I have said it is an easy thing for a rich man to be honest. This statement may seem paradoxical in the light of the numbers of this class that practice dishonesty in connection with their tax returns, and in the light of certain other of their practices. Certainly a glimpse at the life of John Keenau should cause the hot blush of shame to paint the cheeks of chose who have not been honest, when they might have done so, even without personal sacrifice.
Plain John Keenan took with him to the grave as much as the wealthiest can take; he left behind him the most precious thing that any one can leave —a good name, won through sacrifice. So impressed were the war scarred comrades of this man, with his religion of honesty, that, as they stood about his grave with bared heads, they spoke not of his military record, but rather of his civil record—of his record as an honest man, who "is the noblest work of God."

Miss Nannie Morton Keener died Sunday morning at the home of her brother, Mr. John D. Keener, in Southwest Clarinda, aged 52 years, 7 months and 14 days. Her last sickness was of only about a week's duration, but she had been in poor health many years. Miss Keener was a native of Pennsylvania and came to this city with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Keener, many years ago. She was a very amiable and devoted Christian lady and her death is deeply mourned. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. W. C.

Nannie Morgan Keener second daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Keener was born in West Lebanon, Ind. Co., Pa., in 1862 and died Mar. 29th, 1915, at her home south 17th St. Clarinda, la. Having come here with her parents in 1867 then a little girl five years old. Nannie has grown to Christian womanhood in this home, where we are assembled today, to pay our last respects to her. She gave her name early in life to our United Presbyterian congregation for membership enrollment, for she never knew ought but to love and trust her Savior, and none of our members were more faithful in attendance at the Sabbath day services, the prayer meeting and the missionary society, if she was physically able to be present. We shall think of Nannie as one whose life was one of loving sacrifice and unselfish, helpfulness in the home, first to her father and mother, who have gone before to their heavenly rest and then to her brother, John, who has in turn given her such patient, tender care during these long weeks in which she has been such a great sufferer. Her greatest sorrow during her last illness was that she could no longer minister to her dear ones, that she could not carry out plans she had for leaving a token of love to each one of her loved ones, that was of her own handwork. Her surviving brothers and sisters and many warm friends will always cherish her memory as one who was surely Gods very own. Those standing about her deathbed felt sure she saw visions of Heaven as her life was going out, because the brightness of her face, the smile on her lips, and the new light in her eyes, and the old lines of pain all gone. Those of us who have long known Nannie can say from the heart, that God hath taken her to be for ever with Him "For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Rachael Jane Morgan was born May 15, 1838, in Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, was married to James Keener October 14, 1858, and died at her home in this city January 22, 1908, aged 69 years, 8 months and 7 days.
The first twelve years of Mrs. Keener's life were spent in Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, where her father was a carpenter by trade. Both of her parents died, however, when she was but a little girl and she was given a home by her uncle and aunt in Washington county, Pennsylvania, where she lived until the time of her marriage to James Keener, a young blacksmith with whom she went to live in West Lebanon, Indiana county, of that state. Here they continued to reside until 1867, when they came to Clarinda, purchasing the property which has been the family home ever since. Mr. Keener died November 19, 1905, and four children have also preceded the mother into the great beyond. She is survived by seven children, Mrs. Elizabeth Strong, Miss Nannie Keener, John D. Keener, Miss Abbie Keener and James, Orin and Elmer Keener, all of this city, all of whom were with the mother at the time of her death late Wednesday evening. Mrs. Keener's death came as the result of an attack of pneumonia, which first assumed a dangerous form on Saturday morning of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Keener were among the earliest settlers of this city and when they made their home at this present location forty-one years ago there was then only one house west of them in the city, it being the old Tomlinson house. South of the Keener house there were scarcely more than three or four houses and the population then altogether was less than 700, During all this time Mrs. Keener lived among us, a devout Christian woman, a true wife and mother, devoted to the welfare and comfort of her loved ones and spending her years and days in loving ministrations to their wants. Her health in late years had been such that she had been unable to leave the home much, but she was greatly loved by all who knew her in her beautiful home life. With her husband she joined the United Presbyterian church in an early day; was one of the first worshipers in that faith in this city. Her death marks the passing of another land mark in the history of this city and her life will long be remembered by all who knew her as an example of the unassuming home life of a true wife and mother.
The funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home, Pev. W. M. Jackson conducting theservices. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 24, 1908

She had been ailing for the past year and on the 26th of May she took down in her final illness.
She gave her thought to planning for the future of the little boy and was so anxious to get well that she might enter into the vacation priveleges with him and planned some sports for him for the Fourth.
But at the last she seemed to realize she was not to live. Just before she passed away, she mentioned the name of little Harry Strong, her nephew, and pointed up, as if to say she would see him soon.

Immediately upon his removal from that office he took up his card with the painters and resumed work in that line, continuing in that occupation till taken with the illness which ended in his death.

On the 5th day of July last he was united in marriage with Miss Sabina Windhorst, of Clarinda, Iowa, to whom he had been engaged for several years, only awaiting the time when he could arrange a suitable abode for their home. This he had finally accomplished, having but recently remodeled and newly furnished his house at 810 Brumback street, and was rapidly making preparations to move from his boarding place at 1142 East Bannock street when death claimed him. --The Idaho Statesman.

We laid thee to rest 'mid the roses
That clear December day,
And my heart was near to breaking
When they came and led me away.
Oh! rest thee, my sweet,
Nor sorrow nor care
Shall trouble thee more,
Thou'rt safe in the Master's arms.
But thou must be first
Thy loved ones to greet,
When they come to the other shore. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 12, 1918

Kelly, Sam
Villisca Review, Feb. 11: Sam Kelly, for more than half a century a resident of Villisca, died very suddenly and unexpectedly at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning at his home on Sixth street, his death resulting from: heart trouble.
It is believed that worry also was a contributory cause  of his death, since he is thought to have been much perturbed in mind over the death of W. B. Woodward who committed suicide Thursday afternoon of last week, Mr. Kelly having placed $3000 with Mr. Woodward to loan some time ago, and being uncertain as to whether he would be repaid the full amount of his loan he had been considerably disturbed in mind during the last two or three days before his death, but he was able to be up town Monday and on Tuesday morning though the Tuesday morning walk of three or four blocks from his home to the business section of town almost exhausted him, and he decided to stay at home during the afternoon.
As he was bringing in a bucket of coal at home just before supper he had a fainting spell, but after a rest of a few minutes he revived and ate a hearty super as usual. He went to bed about 10 o'clock Tuesday evening as usual and got up about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning to wait on his wife, who has been an invalid for several years, and as he was preparing to get back into bed he sat down on the edge of the bed and fell over unconscious, dying instantly.
Samuel Patterson Kelly was born in Clark county, Ind., on Sept. 4, 1836, and came with his parents to Hawleyville, Iowa, in 1856. He was married to Miss Eliza Huggins at Hawleyville on Sept. 6, 1868, and came to Villisca in 1869 where he resided continuously until his death, being engaged in the contracting and building here.
He was the father of five children, two of whom are deceased. Those living are Miss Laura Kelly and Mrs. Zula Spargur of Villisca, and Yates J. Kelly of Kansas City. Besides his wife and children he leaves also two brothers, T. J. Kelly of Red Oak and N. D. Kelly of Bedford.
Mr. Kelly was a member of the G. A. R., having served four years in the civil war as a member of the Fourth Iowa cavalry, returning home with the commission of second lieutenant. During the war he organized a military company in Fremont county, taking the men to Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where they were turned over by him to those of higher military authority and put into training for service.

The funeral of Mr. Kelly was held Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Christian church, Rev. E. S. Menoher having charge of the service. Burial was in the Villisca cemetery. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 17, 1921

Mrs. Louisa H. Kern died Friday morning, at her home in southwest Clarinda, after a long illness of Bright's disease and other ailments. She was born in Hancock county, Ill., Aug. 6, 1842, being 66 years, 4 months and 12 days of age at the time of her death. She was a sister of Mrs. J. M.

E. church. The funeral was held Sunday at 2:30 p. m., conducted by Rev. Abel. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 24, 1908

Mrs. Louisa H. Kern. - Louisa H. Kern was born at La Harpe, Illinois, August 6, 1842, and there grew to womanhood among the wholesome influences of a Christian farm home. After completing her education in the schools of La Harpe, she became a teacher and for several years followed that vocation. On October 18, 1869, when twenty-seven years of age, she was married to Charles Kern, A happy married life was cut short, however, by her husband's death in less than three years after their marriage. For five years thereafter Mrs. Kern lived at Terre Haute, Illinois, and it was from that place that she moved to Clarinda in the year 1877, purchasing the lot where the present home stands and building a modest house which four years ago was moved off to give place to a modern cottage much larger and arranged for her comfort in the declining years of her life which have now been cut short, her pure, white spirit having passed from its earthly to its Heavenly home in the early morning Friday, December 18, 1908. The funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, December 20, conducted by Rev. J. W. Abel, Mrs. Kern's pastor. The floral tributes were very profuse, speaking in a sweet, mute language of love and respect which all felt for this noble woman.
There were present at the funeral, a nephew, Frank Pearson, and wife, from Lanesboro, Iowa; Mrs. Lena Henderson, from Shenandoah; Mrs. Laura Sanders, from Spickard, Mo.; Joshua Nelson, a nephew from Gravity, and Charles and Clarence Henderson, from Coin, Iowa. Mrs. Kern is survived also by two sisters, Mrs. M. J. Henderson, of this city, and Mrs. Caroline Chenoweth, of Davenport. The other relatives in this city are her nieces,  Mrs.  H.  E. McGee and Miss Jennie Painter, the latter having been her companion in her home for several years past.
Unselfish devotion to her Lord and Savior, to her loved ones and to the needy in the world about her was the keynote of this saintly woman's life.
Blessed with worldly wealth, she found her greatest pleasure not in gratifying her personal desires but in service and kindness to all who were her neighbors in the sense in which the Savior used the word in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Mrs. Kern was a devoted worker in the Methodist church and from her arrival here identified herself with the aggressive organizations for doing good. For years she
was president of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society and was vice-president at the time of her death. The community and the church suffer severe loss in her death. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 24, 1908
