The following relative to the death
of Charles C. Keenan of this city is
from the Schnectady, N. Y., Union
Star:
“Charles C. Keenan, aged 69 years,
of Cordova, Alaska, formerly of this
city, died Sunday evening at the
home of his cousin, William H. Crise,
in Terre Haute, Ind., According
to his wish, his body was brought
to this city for interment in the
family, plot in Parkview cemetery.
A Masonic funeral was held this af
ternoon at 3 o’clock from the under
taking parlors of Coroner Alexander
G Baxter, 735 Brandywine avenue.
The Masonic service was very im
pressive. The Rev. J. A. Swann of
this city also officiated.
“Mr. Keenan was one of the fore
most railroad men of the distant
Northwest and played a very im
portant part in the development of
the mining regions of Alaska. At
the time of his death he was general
foreman of the shops of the Copper
River & Northwestern Railroad Com
pany at Cordova, Alaska. He spent
more than twenty years in that ter
ritory.
“He was born in Lancaster, Pa., in
1850. His parents were Hollanders.
He learned the machinists’ trade in
the Richard Norris shops in Lancas
ter, afterwards holding responsible
positions with the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works of Philadelphia, Pa., in
the Schenectady plant of the Amer
ican Locomotive Company, in the
I Rome (N. Y.) Locomotive Works and
in Pittsburgh, Pa. He was an expert
on locomotive construction and in
1 the building of railroads. His advice
was frequently sought.
Worked on Boundary Line Dispute
“Mr. Keenan performed great ser
vice to the nation in assisting in
i locating the boundary line between
j Canada and the United States. On
several occasions his life was threat
ened in the West wrhen he contended
strenuously for the rights of the
‘States.’ He claimed to know the
exact location of the original line.
His knowledge on this subject en

abled engineers to settle the dis
pute.
“Forty-two years ago Mr. Keenan
married Miss Mary Ellen Worry of
Lewistown, Pa. Mrs. Keenan died in
Cordova, Alaska, June 10, of pneu
monia superinduced by influenza.
Mr. Keenan accompanied his wife’s
body to Schenectady, where it was
laid at rest in the family plot in
Parkview cemetery. Mr. Keenan was
on his way back to Cordova when
he was taken ill at the home o'- his
cousin, Mr. Crise, and died after a
week’s illness.
“Forty-six years ago Mr. Keenan
joined St. John’s Lodge of Masons,
No. 115, of Philadelphia, Pa. He
was an enthusiastic Mason. A num
ber of members of that order at
tended the funeral this afternoon.
GREAfMORT AL1T YLIKELY
IN WILD DUCK FAMILIES
The opening of the hunting season,
occurring as it did. on a legal holiday,
has been taken advantage of by every
man with sporting inclinations who
could*possibly get away from his busi
ness today, and the streets of the city
as a result are extremely quiet.
Commencing Saturday night, the ex
odus continued throughout Sunday,
and this morning the tardy ones were
bringing up the rear guard on the
way to the Flats, until it would seem
that that favorite haunt of the lus
cious mallard and widgeon would be
as populous as the city itself.
•
Travelers and boatmen report that
ducks are more plentiful than usual
in the sloughs along the river and on
the Copper River Flats, and good bags
are looked for.
In keeping with the day, Finkelstein
& Sapiro displayed a couple of live
ducks in their show windows.
