DIES AT AGE 93
Mrs. Mary Kean Was Able To Move About Her Room Until Three Days Ago
One of Cumberland's oldest residents, Mrs. Mary Kean, age 93 years, passed away at 
her home, 27 Beall street at 7 o'clock last night, following a several months' 
illness.  Although confined to her home for more than eight months, Mrs. Kean 
continued to move about her room until Friday, when she was stricken with a heavy 
cold, found it necessary to go to bed and from that time she sank rapidly, falling 
into a deep sleep Sunday evening.  She did not regain consciousness.  Members of 
her family were at her bedside when the end came.  Mrs. Kean was the wife of the 
late Patrick Kean, who died fourteen years ago.  Born in County Clare, Ireland, 
she came to America when 18 years of age, since which time she had made Cumberland 
her home.  She married Patrick Kean in St. Patrick's Church, of this city.  Mrs. 
Kean was the mother of a large family, of which the following survive: John F., 
and George E. Kean, of Cumberland; Patrick E. Kean of Oldtown; Mrs. Ella Fisher, 
who resided with her mother; Mrs. Kate Thomas and Mrs. Edward O'Neill, of 
Cumberland, and Mrs. Elizabeth Morrisey, of Pittsburgh.  The late James W. Kean, 
member of Central Fire Department, who died very suddenly, was a son.  Mrs. Kean 
never knew of his death.  She was an aunt of former Mayor George A. Kean and 
Daniel K. Kean of Cumberland.  She was a number of St. Patrick's Church, from 
which place the funeral will take place at fl Thursday morning. Burial will be in 
the church cemetery.
