Patrick Keavney

Patrick Keavney

 [There were no records for a Cleveland soldier who died in WWI named Patrick Kearney, as the name appeared on the List of Liberty Row Names. We did find records for Patrick Keavney, who was severely wounded then honorably discharged. He was mistakenly recorded as a casualty in the book Doyle, A. C., Haulsee, W. M., Howe, F. G. Soldiers of the Great War. Washington, DC: Soldiers Record Publishing Company, 1920. We found little additional information for him, as research was confounded by the prevalence of information for a Clevelander named Patrick Keaveney, who did not appear to have served in WWI. We could not establish whether Patrick Keavney and Patrick Keaveney were the same person. The profile for Patrick Keavney is below.]
