Biography

• Arthur was born in 1830. He passed away in 1905.
• On the Pedigree Chart, it shows that Arthur was married to Mrs Mary Fenwick (b. 1823 in England d. 30 Nov 1901 in Wagontown, Owyhee, Idaho). However, I'm unable to confirm her maiden name (Fenwick? Something else?) so I'm not willing to create a profile for her yet.
  • Mary O'Keefe shows up on two census - 1870 (below) and 1880 where she and son James were staying with daughter Mary (Mrs. Jeremiah Shea) and family. It appears that Arthur and Mary had split up before 1880. It is unclear where Maggie O'Keefe was in 1880 - she wasn't with either parent.
• On the Pedigree Chart, it also shows that Arthur's father was John O'Keefe (b. abt. 1802 in Carrigtohill, Cork, Ireland), but no documentation found to substantiate this.
