Lawrence McKeon 



Lawrence McKeon was born in Ireland, January 23, 1850. 

 He entered the service of the Museum seven years ago and 

 was assigned to the construction department, where he devoted 

 his time principally to the operation of the wood-working ma- 

 chinery. Always of a happy disposition, his cordiality won 

 for him a welcome in the gatherings of his associates, and his 

 skilful workmanship merited the frequent approval of the 

 heads of his department. He died on April 21, 1916. 



Michael J. Miles 



Michael J. Miles was born on July 12, 1853, in Newburgh, 

 New York. He came to the Museum over fifteen years ago, 

 where he was employed at his trade of carpentry. He was 

 steadfast in friendship and faithfully and conscientiously per- 

 formed the duties to which he was assigned. Although he 

 suffered from physical ills for a protracted period, he bore 

 them without complaint and without the knowledge of most 

 of his associates, in whose memory will linger pleasant recol- 

 lections of this agreeable man and fellow worker. He died 

 on September 22, 19 16.
