MRS. MARY KEENAN, PROMINENT SANDUSKY COUNTY WOMAN DEAD AFTER LONG ILLNESS
FUNERAL SERVICES FOR Mrs. Mary Hughes Keenan, 58, one of Sandusky County's pioneer teachers and a prominent woman, will be held in St. Ann's church at 9 A.M. Monday. The services will be a solemn high mass, with the Rev. J. A. Lane celebrant. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. Mrs. Keenan died at 8 P.M. Thursday in her home, 1512 McPherson Avenue, following an illness of many weeks. For several years she has suffered from diabetics, and at Easter time she contracted influenza. She has been bed fast since, and for the last few weeks, her death was expected almost daily.
Surviving to morn her death are one sister, Mrs. John Strasel, and three brothers, Michael, William, and George Hughes, as well as many nieces and nephews and a host of friends, former pupils and other acquaintances. Her parents, and husband, a brother, Henry and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Quilter and Mrs. C. Bingle preceded her in death. She was a member of St. Ann's church, the L. C. B. A., Altar and Rosary Societies, the League of the Sacred Heart and Our Lady of the Pines circle, Daughters of Isabella. She was very active in the work of her church and the societies with which she was affiliated.
Mary Hughes was born in Millersville, on Jan. 3, 1870, the eldest daughter of Michael and Catherine Hughes. She received her education in the county and Fremont schools and was a graduate of Ohio Northern University and Miami University. She had a life teaching certificate in Ohio. Following completion of her college work, she taught for some years, and on April 11, 1901, was married to Orrin G. Keenan of Millersville. Mr. and Mrs. Keenan lived in the village until Mr. Keenan's death in 1903. Mrs. Keenan returned to teaching, and spent the rest of her life teaching in Seneca, Ottawa and Sandusky County schools. She was a teacher in Fremont High school several years and even this winter, despite her poor health, substituted frequently at the school, and was on the substitute list at the time of her death.
No resident of Fremont perhaps had a greater influence than this woman whose training and instruction of the youth of the vicinity was carried on for so many years, and whose passing is now deeply mourned by the hundreds who lovingly remember their former instructor and friend.
