The Redwood Gazette
Wednesday, 10 January 1917

         MRS. MARY KEEFE, mother of JOS. R. KEEFE of
       Redwood Falls, died at her home at Morton at
       noon Sunday. Funeral services were held at the
       Catholic Church at Morton Tuesday morning, Rev.
       Father Hart officiating. Interment was made in
       the family burial lot at Birch Cooley where the
       husband and several of the children of MRS. KEEFE
       are buried. 
         MRS. KEEFE had been bedridden for only two
       weeks, although she had suffered from the ills
       of old age for several years. She was born in
       Ireland about eighty-three years ago and had
       been a resident of this community for many years,
       settling in Birch Cooley on a homestead with
       her husband and family about forty-five years
       ago. Of the fourteen children born to MR. and
       MRS. KEEFE only five sons survive their mother.
       They are JOS. R. of Redwood Falls, JOHN L. of
       Canada, and T. M., W. D., and D. F. of Morton.
       All five were with their mother at the time of
       her death. The father of the family died about
       fifteen years ago. The greatest eulogy to MRS.
       KEEFE'S worth as a mother and as a woman lies
       in the devotion of her sons and the tenderness
       and love they have shown her during her last
       years of failing and feebleness.
