Aitkin Age, Saturday October 10, 1885, P.4 C.5

Drowned
The whole community was shocked upon Sunday evening by learning of the death by drowning on Friday night of Mr. Wm. Maghan, night watchman on the steamer Fawn. That boat upon last week, owing to her large freight business, was compelled to make two trips, leaving on her second one at noon on Friday. The accident which deprived the unfortunate man of his life occurred at about 3 a. m. on Saturday morning, the darkness at the time of its occurrance being very intense. It is not exactly known how it happened but the last seen of Mr. Maghan he started forward to cover some stacks of feed with a tarpaulin, which, leaving set his lantern upon the deck, where it was found a few minutes later, he no doubt attempted to do, but by some means stumbled or slipped off the guard between it and the barge. He came up after falling about midway of the boat right under the guard but soon floated out and beyond the boat calling to the pilot as he was swept past to "back up," and again his voice rang out upon the dark and somber night in an agonizing cry for "help," which those in hearing of the helpless man struggling with the cruel waters were unable to do. The Fawn upon this trip had no canoe or small boat with her, and although the steamer was backed at once, nothing could be seen or heard of him. At the time of the accident Mr. Maghan wore an overcoat, and even a young and expert swimmer would scarcely have been able to contend with such a weight of clothing on, much less a man of his age, and one who had not been in the water for many years.

The scene of the drowning was at a bend in the river, which the boat was just rounding one mile above Pine Rapids, and the boat waited until daylight in the vain effort to find the remains but without avail. Upon her return further search was made but without avail.

Wm. Maghan was a native of Duntroon, Ireland, and was 62 [sic] years of age. He had been in America something over thirty [sic] years, settling first in Canada and later coming to Duluth and finally four years ago to Aitkin. He leaves a wife and a large family of children most of whom reside at Aitkin.

1 May 1907 KEENAN, Patrick -City Chamberlain dead City Chamberlain Patrick KEENAN died last night at his home, 253 Seventh street, Manhattan. He had been ill six weeks, the result of a stroke of paralysis. His last official act was to sign the Sinking Fund papers, which the Mayor's messenger brought to his home last Saturday. Gathered about his bedside when the end came were many men of prominence in New York's official life. His only known relative, a nephew, Hugh MEENAGH, was out of town.

Patrick KEENAN was born on the 17th of March, 1837. The anniversary of his birth, St. Patrick's Day, was always made the occasion for merriment by Mr. KEENAN's friends on the lower East Side. Coming from his native place, the County Tyrone, Ireland, at the age of 14, he settled in New York. He obtained a place as a ship plumber's apprentice. Later he became a calker in the shipyards on the East Side, and finally branched out with his brother, James, in a saloon venture when both were young men. They opened a place at Avenue C and Thirteenth street, but Pat KEENAN soon tired of the liquor business, declaring it was not the right sort of work for a young man to stay in.
Chamberlain KEENAN received a salary from the city of $12,000 a year, and much of this he distributed in charity. Having no relatives to care for, and being a bachelor, he had only himself to support, and his fortune soon grew into the hundreds of thousands, for he never squandered his money. The details of his political career would fill several newspapers. His funeral will be one of the most largely attended ever held in New York.
