General Notes: Husband - Judge John Keating
Born in Centre County, Pennsylvania, he left at an early age dependent on his own exertions. He came to the western part of the state at the age of eighteen, and worked at a coal mine near Monroeville, Butler County. In 1836 he located at Emlenton, bringing his first consignment of goods from Pittsburgh in a canoe, himself the entire crew as well as consignee. In 1846 he built a furnace near St. Petersburg, and at the time of his death owned an estate of a thousand acres. In 1866 he was elected associate judge of Clarion County. [HVC 1890, 513]
He was born in Center County, Pennsylvania, of Irish parentage. His early education embraced the rudiments usually taught in the common schools. He was reared upon a farm, and by careful observation and extensive reading accumulated a fund of valuable information ere reaching manhood. He removed from Center county to Murrinsville, Butler county, when about eighteen years of age. In 1836, he removed to Emlenton and began merchandising. He was prominent in the early progress and development of the town, and promoted the erection of the Emlenton bridge across the Allegheny river. In 1846 he built the Keating furnace about seven miles east of Emlenton, and ran it successfully while others failed, having one thousand acres of land to support his enterprise. This property finally became his permanent homestead. Having removed to Clarion county, he was, in 1866, elected an associate judge thereof, and served one term. In 1870 he became an oil producer, in which capacity he was very successful. His one thousand acres became a good field and his royalty was quite large. He was paralyzed in August, 1880, from the effects of which he died. He was a stanch Democrat, and through-out his life an earnest member of the Catholic church, giving largely of his means toward the support of that faith in western Pennsylvania. [HVC 1890, 930]
He was born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, being the youngest of a family of seven, five sisters and two brothers; all dead before 1887. John was the last survivor. He came with his five sisters to Murrinsville, Butler county, and in 1838 or '39 he removed with his family to Emlenton to engage in mercantile business. He formed a partnership with John Vensel in 1846, and erected Richland Furnace in Clarion county, beginning the manufacture of charcoal iron the following year. This he prosecuted successfully for a number of years. About 1850 he moved with his family and took up his residence at the furnace, where he continued to live till his decease. In 1866 he was elected associate judge as a Dem-ocratic candidate, his term expiring 1871. [HCC 1887, 662]
