  JOHN MCKEEVER, a justice of the peace of Ellington township for the past twenty years, is one of the leading agriculturists of this section and has also been extensively engaged in breeding blooded live stock. He is a son of John McKeever, a native of County Louth, Ireland, who came to the United States in 1850, working the first five years as a farm hand in New York State and then coming west to Green Bay, Wisconsin, from whence he walked through the woods to Ellington township, there buying the farm that became the homestead, and which is now the home of his son Michael. He was married in May, 1857, in Fond du Lac, to Mary Boyle, a native of Limerick, Ireland, who walked from Fond du Lac to her new home with her husband the day after their marriage. She died in 1907. John McKeever was born February 11, 1858, in the log cabin on the old homestead, and secured what education was obtainable in the log schoolhouse of his district. At the age of twenty years he started out to make his own way in the world, going to the pineries, where he remained about five months of the first winter. In the summer Mr. McKeever returned to Ellington township and worked for the farmers by the month and during the winter again went to the woods. The next summer he returned to his father's farm, on which he spent the next five or six years, his winters being occupied as before, but in 1884 he settled down to an agricultural life, his father having presented him with the fine tract which he is now operating. Here he has made many improvements, including a new residence and a large barn, aind he has brought the land into a high state of cultivation. Aside from his farming operations, Mr. McKeever is the owner and trainer of race horses, having Wilkes Blood and Count Buckner, the latter having a mark of 2:06 3/4. He also has a fine herd of Jersey cattle, among which is Gay Lad, one of the finest bulls in the state. He is recognized as an expert judge of live stock, is known as a good, practical farmer, and his ability as an official is testified to by the fact that he has served as justice of the peace of Ellington township for many years. He and his wife are members of St. Patrick's Catholic Church at Stephensville. Mr. McKeever was married October 30, 1904, to Miss Anne Murphy, who was born December 22, 1871, in Oconto, Oconto county, Wisconsin, daughter of John and Catherine (Regan) Murphy, natives of Canada and farming people of Oconto county, where they still reside. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy had five daughters: Mary Ellen, Anna Bella, Rosa, Jennie and Katherine. To Mr. and Mrs. McKeever seven children have been born: John, James, Ellen, Anne, Lauretta, Margaretta and Sarah.
