O‘Keefe, Mgr. Of Railroad Men‘s Home Passes Away John O‘Keefe, Secretaryâ€"Treasâ€" urer and Manager of the Home for Aged and Disabled Railroad Emâ€" ployees of America, died at the Home on Friday evening, August 5th, followimgâ€"aâ€"three weeks‘ illness. Mr. O‘Keefe contracted a heavy cold while on the Pacific Coast last February and had not bee in in roâ€" bust health since his return, but his condition was not considered serious until early last week. He is survived by his wife, the former Mary Elizabeth Powers, and two sisters Mrs. Mary Mitchell and Mrs. Sadie Amadisto, who reside in Caliâ€" fornia. _ John O‘Keefe was born in Perth, Scotland, on August 24th, 1860, and came to America with his parents when he was 12 years of age. His boyhood was spent on a farm in Sibâ€" ley, Iowa. He began railroading at an early age and his last employment in that line was with the Illinois Central system. He. was appointed a deputy smoke inspector for the City of Chiâ€" cago in 1894 and held that post until November 1st, 1903, when he resignâ€" ed to accept the position of Secreâ€" taryâ€"Treasurer and Manager of the Railroad Men‘s Home at Highland Park. The Home in those days conâ€" sisted of three frame buildings, crowded to capacity, and money was scarce. Mr. O‘Keefe traveled from coast to coast speaking before Railâ€" road Brotherhood conventions, imâ€" presisng upon the members the necesâ€" sity for a modern, fireproof building to replace the ramshackle houses. The pretentious structure at the corner of St. Johns avenue and Beach street stands as a memorial to his efforts, and the generosity of the railroad men throughout the United States and Canada. During those busy years Mr. O‘Keefe found time to enter into politics and civic affairs. He was a member of the Lake County Demoâ€" Cratic Central Committee for thirtyâ€" one years, and served as its chairâ€" man from 1928 to 1984 when he reâ€" tired due to failing eyesight. As a man and a leader in the brotherhood of man, he occupied an exceptional place. He will be missâ€" ed as a personal friend and advisor, a kind and considerate employer; one whose counsel was never denied when sought, £44 whose words had might. It can well be said that the world was better that he lived, to which many a weary wayfarer whose faltering feet were made more sure, and whose pathway up the great hill nf life was made more smovth by the touch of his ready hand and the light of encouragement, will tesâ€" We extend :‘o the mmbmh'cf m: l-fito‘r sincere sympat an deepést condolence in their bereaveâ€" ment, and express the profound sorâ€" row that we feel, and the sense of Daughter Continues Employment Service Alice Wilson, daughter of r::eo lndlg' Durtient, vll: ent service at 386 :-llor-t m'mt mbfirnlduhha.lm of the business due to the Funeral ‘services were held on Tuesday afterncon at the Kelley Mortuary with Dr. Christoph Keller officiating. .
