His obituary is in the Clay Center Dispatch, Thursday, Nov. 17, 1892, page 3, column 4: On Friday evening at his home in Athelstane Township, Mr. Keener died, aged nearly 52 years. He had been sick for two weeks with a fever but was better and thought to be in a fair way for a speedy recovery. On this evening some members of the family had just returned from town and Mr. Keener was much interested in hearing from the boys in town and all the other news. Suddenly he called his daughter to him and it was seen that a collapse of his vitality had taken place and in twenty minutes he was dead. Mr. Keener had resided on the same place since coming to Kansas thirteen years ago and was one of the most upright and substantial men in the community. He had been a consistent and worthy member of the Evangelical church for thirty years. The funeral which occurred on Monday was very large and the remains where lain to rest in Athelstane cemetery. He leaves a wife and seven children, S.A. and J.R. comprising the firm of Keener Bros. live in town, one son, George, lives in Colorado and the rest of the family at home.
