"Covenanter Cemetery Families" |
When Alexander McKEOWN, Jr. first came to
Page County (1858) the land was as it had been left by
the Red Man, but time and energy have brought great
many changes, the McKEOWN FARM was one of the
best improved in Page County; there was a frame residence, and
good buildings for stock and grain.
Having led a life of honesty and integrity, his numbers of friends
were by the score, and his standing in the county was
second to none. They were members of the Clarinda
Reformed Presbyterian Church (COVENANTER). The
Alexander McKEOWN, Jr. and family was one of
the early settlers of Page Co., and had but little means to
start with, and contributed greatly to the development of
this area.

Mr McKEOWN was a farmer by occupation and brought up his sons to the same employment.
He was a man, quiet and unassuming, and strove to inculate the principle of right and truth in

stock and grain have been erected by the present owner. Having led a life of honesty

Note by Phyllis Fulk:
In early 1940 on the way to Covenanter Church one Sabbath morning, my mother
noticed machinery lined up as for sale on the Henry McKEOWN farm. She told Dad
he should check and see if the farm was for sale. He did, and sold a team of
horses for down payment. We lived south of Shambaugh and half way to College
Springs, quite aways from church and Clarinda. There was Mom and Dad, six of us
children, Grandpa and Grandma Dunn, so what a thrill to move to the McKEOWN place
with four bedrooms upstairs and one down. A wood (or coal) burning furnace in the
basement with a register to every room. A large porch across the south and east
sides of the house. A beautiful staircase and large rooms with a big bay window
out of the dining room and also the bedroom upstairs. There was no electricity
or bath in the bathroom (no one else had that either) but there was water in and
out of the kitchen. A huge crock sat beside the sink and if you pumped the pump
(down hill east af the house) 300 times it would fill and have plenty of water
to use. The water was piped out of the sink and ran down into the lower front
yard. There was a house just back of the main house with two rooms which we
called "the old house" and used for storage and the cream separator, where the
Alex McKEOWNS had lived, it may have been attached to the house at one time. The
Dunn family lived on the McKEOWN farm for twenty-five years. In 1947 electricity
came to the country and a good hard surfaced "oiled" road was made to the church.
