Nov. 4, 1920. "THOMAS B. McKEAN". -- Thomas B. McKean died at his home in Madison township Monday, October 25, aged 74 years. He was born in Gallia county, Ohio and came to this section of the country with his parents at the age of five years. Mr. McKean was one of the pioneers of Fremont county and has always been well liked and respected by all who knew him. He is one of the many who have helped to carve out the history of Fremont county and the present generation owes such as he a heavy debt for the efforts they have made toward making this one of the favored spots on earth and the only way we may pay this debt is to have the same true regard for our own posterity. He leaves to mourn his loss two sons, Norman and Ernest, and a sister Mrs. George Rader, all of Madison township. The funeral services were held from the Mt. Olive Church.
