N. Keen, age 76 years.
In the death of William Keen St.
Tammany parish has lost one of its
oldest residents and one who figured
prominently in the Civil War. En-
| listing at age of IT, in exchange for
his father who was physically unable
to go, he at the very beginning began
career of hardship, priVation and
great Valor. He was member of a
battalion under Colonel Forrest, COM
manded by General Bragg, and
/ fought in the battles of Murfresboro,
Chicamaugua, Gettysbugr and Shi-
| lob. In the last named battle he
was the only man of his battalion not
killed or wounded. His horse was
shot from under him and his saddle
torn by bursting shells. He was
taken prisoner at that time and held
until the close of the war. He told
many interesting tales Of that great
war and was an interested reader OF
our recent war.
Soon after his return to civilian
life he married Eleanor Jay, sister
of John and Ed Jay. big lumber men
of the early days. She preceded him
to the grave twenty-five years ago.
In later years he married Mary Burk.
Mr.. Keen left besides his wife, four
children by his first marriage, Mrs.
Walter Parker, Barton, Milton and
Daniel Keen, all respected residents
| of our parish.
He was a man of sterling charac-
ter, deeply religious and very much
! respected

stunts attempted in Covington for
some time.

GRANDFATHER'S RECOLLECTIONS

long time that we had TO stand, for the
/ line moved very slowly, everybody
wanted to have a word with Abraham
Lincoln, Honest Abe as he was called,
and just as we reached the door of the
great room in which he stood some
body said: L guess this is all the
nearer Wen get. The President won't
see any more today"
And didn't you see him, after air.
asked Teddy.
Yes. did, Ted but let me tell you
what happened. what a quick-witted
man our Lincoln was. not far ahead
of me stood big New England farm
err, the kind you see pictures of, with
stubby whiskers and large red hand
kerchief. He was afraid he would
miss the President, and he did not
want to do that. Mr.. Lincoln he
shouted. oh, Mr.. Lincoln!' At first no
one paid any attention to him, but
finally through the hubbub of voices
the President heard his name being
called. Yes he answered, Who
wants me, what do you want?' The
farmer saw his chance to talk with
Abraham Lincoln and he seized it.
Back North where I come FROM he
cried, the folks say that only God
and Abraham Lincoln can save the
Union!' Quick as a flash the Presi-
dent answered. We'll. they're half
right! You see Ted, it was a modest
as well as a wise man in whom the
people had placed their trust and
faith"
"Our teacher told us in school," said
Teddy after moments silence. that
Lincoln had been poor boy and that
he had worked his way up to the
White House by his own honest ef-
forts"
THAT is true" said Grandfather. 81
can remember my Uncle who lived out
near the Lincolns in Indiana. and the
stories he used to tell about little Abe.
"Tell me some do" pleaded Ted.
SO Grandfather put on his Remem-
bering Cap and began: You know
that he was born in Kentucky in a
little log cabin, one wintry morning
in 1909. His father was a carpenter,
but few were the hours he spent at his
