Description
Oliver Gilmore Keown, LL.B.
Hartford, Kentucky
We do not see much of Keown where squirrels are common fed,
But he helped win a war in Europe where squirrels dared not tread.
For six long years he’s been a victim of wedlock’s holy ties,
But, withal, he’s a promising lawyer, and we expect to see him rise.
-The Kentuckian, 1923
