The funeral was held Tuesday forenoon. Services were conducted at the Assumption church. There was a solemn requiem high mass with Very Rev. P.F. Farrelly as celebrant. He was assisted by Fathers McNerney and Velt. There was a large attendance from this and surrounding communities. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were J.J. and J.D. Higgins, James P. Jones, P.J. Nally, David Joynt and Joseph Joynt. Mr. Keating was born at Ballymacord [Note: probably Ballymacward] in the county of Galway, Ireland, in April 1847. Hence he was in his seventy-first year. He came to America in April 1865. He spent some time at Marblehead, Massachusetts. In 1866 he came to Dubuque county, Iowa. In 1870 he located at Delaware county, this state. On November 25, 1875, he was married at Dyersville, this state to Catherine Joynt. Mr. and Mrs. Keating lived on a farm near Earlville until 1896 when they bought the Peter Jones homestead in Great Oak township. Seven years later they became residents of this city, subsequently residing in their comfortable home in the Fourth ward. Mr. Keating is survived by his wife, one son, John D. of Chicago and two daughters, Miss Nellie Keating and Mrs. W.T. O'Brien, both of this community. Three brothers-Patrick, John, and Timothy- are still living in Ireland. One sister, Mrs. W.A. Bartlett, resides at St. Paul. Mr. Keating was a quiet, modest Christian gentleman. He never sought attention. He attended closely to his own private affairs but he was invariably ready to do a neighborly act of kindness and to extend a strong influence on the lives of those in need. He was a conscientious man. He was careful and conservative and he took pride in meeting his obligations. His personal conduct was always above criticism. He appreciated goodness in others and his influence was exerted to encourage thrifty, useful high class citizenship. He was a devoted member of his church and he lived up to its obligations. He never for a moment underestimated its influences on the lives of those who made a conscientious effort to observe its teachings. The passing of Mr. Keating will be sincerely mourned not only by his wife, son, and two daughters, but by the large number who knew him and respected him as a man and a neighbor. General and sincere sympathy is extended to the surviving members of his excellent family. Emmetsburg Democrat Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa Wednesday, October 10, 1917
