The announcement of tbe death of John C. Kean, received here last Friday morning by his brother S. T. I Kean, was received by all of the deceased’s relatives and old friends with feelings of deep regret. Mr. Kean died Thursday night after brief illness. His sister, Mrs. P. H. Roche, who was in Chicago at the time, attended him at his bedside in his last hours, and accompanied by Mr. Peter J. Morrissy, an old friend of deceased, brought, the remains to Cascade, arriving here on the afternoon train Saturday and were taken to the home of S. T. Kean. John Chambers Kean was a son of the late T. C. L. and Margaret Kean, and was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in March, 1849, and was therefore in his 67th year. In 1850 his parents came to Iowa and located in Jones county and later removed to the farm in Whitewater township where Bartley Devine now lives. He grew to boyhood and manhood, working on the farm and giving assistance to his parents, until he embarked in the horse breeding business, beginning on the home farm and a year or two later with headquarters in Cascade. He was engaged in this business for about fifteen years during which time he brought to this section some of the finest specimens of horseflesh ever introduced here. He served several terms as a member of the city council and was a member when the waterworks, the first big improve meat in Cascade, was installed. Eleven years ago he went to Chicago where he worked for the Union Stock Yards and Transit company up to the time of his death. John C. Kean was a big-hearted man whose friends were legion, and was steadfast and loyal to his friends. He was the soul of honor and would go far to render assistance and counsel to a fellow citizen. He was a consistent Catholic and was obedient to the precepts of the church and passed away fortified by the sacraments of his faith. Saturday afternoon and evening many old friends called at the S. T. Kean home in East Cascade to view the remains of their former fellow citizen, whom many of them had not seen for more than a decade. The deceased is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Miss Maria Kean, S. T. Kean, C. J. Kean, Miss Annie Kean, Robert Kean, Mrs. P. H. Roche, J. A. Kean, and Mrs. T. J. Devlin. Sunday forenoon at 10 o'clock the funeral services were held at St. Martin's, Rev. L. Roche officiating. The pallbearers were J.E. Kennedy, J. J. Finn, John Brown, M. J. Noonan, John Clancy, John M. Smyth, J. C. Devlin and J. P. Lane.
