Arthur Peter Keenan

Obituary:

A member of the well known Keenan family, Mr Arthur Keenan died in Melbourne last Saturday at the age of 76 years. Connected with the development of Lilydale for over 50 years, this family came from Mitcham on the opening of the Lilydale railway. As a young many Arthur was a prominent local footballer and runner. His prowess on the football field may be gauged by the fact that a short time back a football medallion was sent to the “Sun-Pictoria” as wanting an owner. It turned out to be a medal presented to the late Mr Kennan some time in the ‘nineties by Cr James Wallace.

In the days when sport called for every member of the community to do his bit, the Keenan family were renowned for step dancing, championship wood cutting, achievement on the football field in most pastimes of the old century when “Shank’s” pony and a stout gig and pony were in evidence, long since superseded by the motor car. At the regular old-time dances, too, they carved a niche form themselves by discoursing pleasant melodies per medium of the concertina. The late Mr Keenan leaves a daughter, Mrs W. McCumber of Swansea Rd to whom sympathy is extended. [Lilydale Express 02-02-1940]
