Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg Arizona March 4, 1971, page 14 Percy Keehn - Funeral services were planned for Tuesday of this week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for Percy F. Keehn, age 78, who died at his home in Country Club Park February 25. Burial was to be in the family plot in the Oak Hill Cemetery in that city. Memorial services were held at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Wickenburg Funeral Home with the Rev. W. Howard Blazer of the First Presbyterian Church officiating. Mr. Keehn’s sudden death was a distinct shock not only to his family but to the many friends he had made here during the 16 years he and Mrs. Keehn have been coming here for the winters. They established a permanent home in Country Club Park four years ago. Born in Burlington, Iowa, January 13, 1893, Mr. Keehn attended Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa; served in an Ammunition Train unit in World War II and was engaged in the wholesale food business in Iowa for many years prior to his retirement in 1953. He is survived by his wife Dorothy and three sons, William of Bellevue, Wash.; David of Bridgeton, Mo., and Richard of Racine, Wisconsin. Three sisters and one brother live out of state. Ten grandchildren also survive.
