Biography

Deceased was employed by the Water Supply Department at Leinster. On Friday 1 February, he asked for a lift to Lawlers and was given a ride on the baker's cart. After five or six miles, the off-side wheel struck a stump and threw Keane out of the vehicle. The driver immediately sat him up and went to fetch help. When he returned, Keane was still alive but died within 10 minutes. A verdict of "accidentally falling from a baker's cart" was returned at the inquest which was held two days later. The deceased is buried in Plot 19, Section A of Lawlers Cemetery.
