Ramblings Welcome Back Issues |
Keeney Update The Inbox.. Contributed items |
| Miscellaneous | |
Hello Everyone,
This will be the last monthly
issue unless someone sends something in to be included, at this time I plan on going
quarterly with the next issue. The purpose of this site & the newsletter is to share
information, and connect with other Keeney researchers.
Back in August I received an e-mail with the subject line of Korean War Reconciliation, that dealt with a George P. Keeney that was killed in action. I've put the original e-mail & my response below in the Inbox section along with the Reply from Bud that was sent through the postal system, if anyone wants to send a reply to Bud send it to me & I will forward it by post to his home.
The
issue that I'd planned on putting up for
November did not get completed and I've been waiting for it to get sent in, but I guess
things are a bit busy for the volunteer at this point in time, I wish her and her family
the best, and thank her for the time and effort she has spent in helping to get the
updates transcribed for all of us.
In that I'm not planning to put out another issue soon, I wish everyone the best for the upcoming holiday seasons and hope Chritmas & New Year brings peace to all.
~Dan

Re: Keeney ancestor
Hi!,
Bill Korrigan said that you might have some info. I was just looking at your fantastic
website. What you and the others have done is above and beyond. I hope you can help
me out with any info. I just remembered a story, my James had family back in New York.
Many years later, my father's brother looked up James's son's family. There he met Alice
Collins. They fell in love and got married. They were 2nd cousins. Her grandfather and my
great grandmother were brother and sister. I think that something must have happened to
James because Mary Catherine White Keeney remarried in 1888. a William Honnor and they
moved to Nebraska.
Thank you for any info, hints, suggestions. I am pretty good at research and am willing to
help find keeneys.

Keeney family of Lawrence county,
Ohio
Hello! I am trying to find out about the Lorenza Keeney family. Lorenza was born in 1837 and died in 1911. He was married to Leah Ann Wilson, born 1838 and died in 1925. They had seven children, William, Ota, John, Joseph, Cornelia, Annie, and Myrtle. They lived on a large dairy and fruit farm in Chesapeake, Ohio. That is right across from Huntington, Wv. If you can give me any information, it would be such a blessing. I am trying to find the pedigree for Harry Haynes who was married to Myrtle Keeney. He was a full-blooded Chippewa indian..

In reply I sent the following:
Hi Stanley Falor,
What can I do to help?
It was a time of war and no one person could prevent every death, since you can't tell
what is going to happen next.
I have an online newsletter, & if Bud would like to say anything about George in it
he can send it to me.
Sincerely,
Mr. Daniell Lee Keeney

Here is Bud's reply (which came through the postal system):
Dear Sir,
First of all please allow me to say that I am sorry for taking so long in answering your
e-mail that was sent to "Chummy 62" back in August.
My real name is Okey Dewitt, my nick name is Bud. I really don't know how to start, as I
have so much to say about that day.
On that day, I was going down the hill, that we were on, to get supplies. I was a 18 yr.
old PFC doing a sgts job. I really didn't know what I was doing. Anyway George was one who
I wanted to look out for so I ask him to remain on the Hill and watch the switch board.
He repeatedly ask to go with myself and another soldier to get the supplies. I finally
agreed to let him go. When we neared the top of the hill, we heard
incoming mortar rounds.
Myself and the other soldier (not George) ran and jumped into the trench which encircled
the Hill.
I ran quickly back to the switch board for I knew that with the shelling going on I would
be needed. I honestly thought that George was right behind us and that he was just taking
his time getting back.
I realize that I wasn't at fault. However since that day I have had twisted insides
thinking that if I had made him stay on the hill as I wanted him to and if I had used my
authority as I should have, George may be alive today.
And so my friend, I ask for any and all forgiveness from you and your family. I will never
forget, I still shed tears, but at least I have had a chance to say that I am sorry to you
and whom ever else that he loved.
Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget this.

| 4. | Thou shalt leave NO trace of your female children. | |
| 5. | Thou shalt, after naming thy children from the above lists, call them by strange nicknames such as: Ike, Eli, Polly, Dolly. --- making them difficult to trace. | |

| 8. | Thou shalt, after no more then 3 generations, make sure that all family records are lost, misplaced, burned in a court house fire, or buried so that NO future trace of them can be found. | |

This was sent in by Carol Keeney back in August of '99 and was in the September '99 issue of this newsletter.
The limbs that move, the eyes that see,
These are not entirely me;
Dead men and women helped to shape
The mold which I do not escape;
The words I speak, my written line,
These are not uniquely mine.
For in my heart and in my will
Old ancestors are warring still,
Celt, Roman, Saxon, and all the dead
From whose rich blood my veins are fed,
In aspect, gesture, voices, tone,
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone;
In fields they tilled I plow the sod,
I walk the mountain paths they trod;
And round my daily steps arise
The good and bad of those I comprise.

English poet Richard Rolle, written over 600 years ago
