The Cambria freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: October 14, 1869
In Atchison county, Kansas, on Friday, Sept. 17th, 1869, Col. John Kean, aged 68
years. Mr. Kean was born at Jefferson, (now Wilmore) in this county, where he
continued to reside until some fifteen or eighteen years ago. On arriving at his
majority he was elected colonel of a regiment of State militia, which position he
held for a number of years. Subsequently he was appointed brigade inspector.
He was twice elected to represent Cambria county in the State legislature, in which
body he served with fidelity to the people and credit to himself.
In 1857 he removed to Kansas, and an Atchison paper, in recording his death, says
that his worth and integrity soon made him a conspicuous man in that county, and in
1861 he was chosen to represent the eighth district in the legislature.
Mr. Kean was a man of strong character. A farmer by occupation, he gloried in
earning his living by honest toil. As a neighbor he was kind and charitable, and
ever ready to assist those who needed assistance. In politics he was always a
Democrat, firm in his convictions, positive in the advocacy of what he believed to
be right, and faithful to the great principles of the fathers of our country.
