Back Issues
Hello Everyone,
It's the 29th of October as I start on this issue & I have gotten three notices kicked back as non-deliverable, (e-mail addresses no good), the message I got on each is in red, so if anyone knows how to contact any of the following people have them get in touch with me.
1. Cathy Miller cjm531@airmail.net unknown user
(new address located I had Cathy's new address & didn't realize that I did.)
2. Linda K. Kilburn Linwood5@webtv.net User unknown
3. Gena Gilbert Gatlin genag@eots.com Host unknown
This issue starts the third year of the Keeney Family Genealogy online newsletter, there were 22 issues in the first two years. And it's getting hard to come up with data on my own, I do thank those of you who have sent items in. But if you want me to continue to do this as a monthly newsletter, I need HELP, I made a few suggestions in the November issue on things that can be sent in & I'm sure that there are others you can think of, even if you only send in a suggestion as to what I could add.
In the past year I've DROPPED the following items from the newsletter for one reason or another.
1. From the Keeney Update, dropped in January 2000
2. Family Stories, dropped in February 2000
3. Keeney's in, dropped in March 2000
4. Found online, dropped in August 2000
There have been others that were renamed or just put under Miscellaneous.
I've decided to do the newsletter on an occasional basis unless I get enough new data to warrant an issue every month. (I think I'm beginning to understand how Roscoe feels).
Now down to computers & viruses, for those of you that don't have antivirus software I found a site that will scan your computer for viruses for free http://housecall.antivirus.com/ & thought it would be something that some of you may want to check out.
I run antivirus software on my computer at least once a week, and even though I do I still wound up getting one today (05 November 2000) the software caught it & I had to do a manual delete on it, but at least I don't have to worry about spreading it.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Subject: Keeney Family
Dear Dan,
Just a little more Keeney info.
Death of Norma, wife of Ivan, son of Lloyd; 21 March 1999
Death of Charlotte, daughter of Charles, 30 March 1999
Death of Emil, Husband of Charlotte, 21 October 1999
I also have some information about a Keeney family that settled in the North West. This was sent to me by a Merle Keeney in the Eugene Oregon area, a descendant of this family. I'm wondering if John David (1714) could have been one of, or a descendant of one of the three brothers mentioned on page 50 paragraph 4 of the attachment. I hope the attachments come through.
Have you received anything more about the Ogden Keeney House and the token. This must have been from this same Keeney family. My grandson that lives in Pocatello Idaho sent me a clipping about the Keeney Ferry, [Riverside Ferry] mentioned on page 51 paragraph 6 of the attachment.
Cousin, Ray

Dan,
I would like to see all the Keeney Updates eventually scanned and available (At least their text) on line. I wonder if Roscoe Keeney would be willing to supply as set to you for that purpose? It would be a formidable job, though. Roscoe is getting up in years and I'm concerned that the Keeney Update resource, even though laced with error from incompletely researched data submitted to Roscoe, will be lost to general use. The Seattle Public Library has a few of the Keeney Update issues that someone has donated, but they are only a few of the many printed. I found them very interesting to read.
Don McG
PS If you did this at a rate of perhaps one per month, you'd always have something for the newsletter!!
My reply in part sent the same day:
Don,
I've asked Roscoe before about doing just that, but he has never replied to the question. I have been able to obtain about 90% of the issues that he has put out. though some of the photo copies are a bit washed out.
Maybe if someone else asked him if it was alright for me to do it he'd answer.

Ray Keeney sent in 3 scanned pages of a book ("In The Beginning," written by Martha Steinbacher )., each image is a link so you can click on it to see a larger version.
Also from Ray:
The Idaho Tri-weekly Statesman in 1864 published the following advertisement:
BOISE FERRY, ON SNAKE RIVER, AT OLD FORT BOISE
The traveling public are invited to take notice that the above ferry is now completed and furnished with good new boats and careful attendants. The ferry is located at the most eligible crossing on the Snake River for travel from California, Oregon and Washington Territory. To and from Boise City and Idaho City, of which all must be convinced who once try the route. Being furnished with buoy lines, and the largest boats, it is believed to be the safest ferry on the Snake River.
Proprietors;
J. Keeney
John Duval
J. McLaughlin
When the steamboat Shoshone was built at the mouth of the Boise river in 1866, the vessel disrupted Keeney's ferry service. He had to drop his wire rope to allow the steamer navigation of the river, but within three months the Shoshone was laid up for want of fuel wood. In 1870, Jonathon Keeney, because of illness, sold his ferry. In 1902 the ferry was discontinued when the interstate bridge was completed at Nyssa.
Is it possible that the J. McLaughlin could be a relative too?
Cousin, Ray
