View all 5 ReflectionsMr. Keeney, whose full name was Asa Lincoln Keeney, was a blacksmith serving as a deputy when he was shot to death in 1894 by an escaped prisoner who he had captured.
Although many records indicate this happened in Fairland, Indian Territory, I think this is a mistake and it happened in Miami, I.T., where his blacksmith shop was.
I would like to know more about him so that he his not forgotten here in Miami.
