When my mother [Kathryn O'Meara] was about 9 and Uncle Dan [Daniel O'Meara] about 7 both their parents were dead. The children were taken to Kemptville, Ontario, Canada. My mother lived there until she was 16. She then came to Alvord, Iowa and lived with her sister Jennie [Jane] Smith. She taught school near there until she married my father [James Keegan]. Dan stayed there until he was a young man. Then came to Anita, North Dakota where his sister Nell [Ellen O'Meara] and family lived. He was a mail carrier all his life.
