McKeeman-Hocker
________________________________________________________________________
THE PICTORIAL HISTORY OF FORT WAYNE INDIANA.
Robert B. McKeeman, M.D. has found in his native county ample field for
successful achievement in his exacting profession and has won secure place
as a
representative physician and surgeon in the city of Fort Wayne. He was born
near Hoagland, Allen county, on February 27, 1874, a son of David C. and
Margaret (McConahey) McKeeman, natives of County Antrim, Ireland. David C.
Mckeeman was reared and educated in Ireland and came to America when a young
man. He remained for a time in the vicinity of Albany, New York, and then
came
to Indiana and purchased a farm near Hoagland, Allen county. He became one of
the prosperous exponents of agricultural and live-stock industry in this
county
and here he and his wife passed the residue of their lives--possessed of those
sterling attributes of character that invariably beget popular confidence and
respect. Mr. McKeeman was a Republican in politics and both he and his wife
were lifelong members of the Presbyterian church. Of their children the first
three--John, Catherine and Margaret--are deceased; Jennie is the wife of Henry
Dauer, of Decatur, this state; Nancy is the wife of Robert Mercer, of Poe,
Allen county; Belle and James are deceased; William, Alexander, Ella and David
C. Jr., reside in Fort Wayne; and Dr. Robert B., of this review, is the
youngest of the number. Passing his childhood and early youth on the home
farm, Doctor McKeeman made good use of the advantages of the public schools in
the village of Hoagland and thereafter attended Taylor University, at Upland,
this state, and the normal school at Marion. After two years of successful
service as a teacher in the schools of Allen county he was able to follow the
course of his ambition and to enter the Fort Wayne Medical College, which is
now an integral part of the medical department of the University of Indiana.
In this institution he was graduated in 1897, and, after thus receiving his
degree of Doctor of Medicine, engaged in practice at Monroe, Adams county,
where he remained until 1900, since which time he has been engaged in practice
in Fort Wayne, where he has developed a substantial and representative
professional business. The Doctor is identified with the Allen County Medical
Society. His political allegiance is given to the Republican party, he and
his
wife are members of the Third Presbyterian church of Fort Wayne, and in the
time-honored Masonic fraternity he has received the thirty-second degree of
the
Scottish Rite. October 5, 1897, was made an eventful day in the life of
Doctor
McKeeman, since then was solemnized his marriage to Miss Susan M. Hocker, a
daughter of Joseph and Jesteen Hocker, of Monroe, Adams county, and the four
children of this union are L. Stanford, Lillian Theodosia, Donald H.C. and
Ruth
Beatrice.

THE 1979 HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA by Heller.
Robert B. McKeeman, M.D., was born at Hoagland, Ind. the son of David C. and
Margaret (McConahey) McKeeman. He attended the local schools in and around
Hoagland until 1891. At that time he attended Taylor University located at
Upland, Ind. In 1892, he attended Marion College at Marion. From 1893 until
1895, he taught school in Hoagland and in 1895, he entered the Fort Wayne
Medical College, graduating in 1897.
After completing medical school, he moved to Monroe, to begin the practice of
medicine. At Monroe he met Miss Susie May Hocker, and in 1897 they were
married. The parents of Susie Hocker were Joseph and Justine Hocker. Joseph
Hocker was the druggist in Monroe. In 1900, Dr. McKeeman left Monroe and
moved
to Fort Wayne.
Dr. and Mrs. McKeeman were the parents of four children: L. Stanford,
Theodosia, Donald and Ruth. His two sons followed in the medical profession,
both graduating from the Indiana University Medical School, one in 1924 and
one
in 1929.
Dr. Robert McKeeman was a member of the Allen Co. Medical Society, the
Tri-State Society of Medicine, the Indiana State Medical Society, and The
American Medical Society. He was a lifetime member of the Presbyterian
church.
In politics, he was a Republican. He was a Blue Lodge Mason, 32nd degree
Scottish Rite, and a member of the Shrine organization.
Dr. McKeeman died in 1937, and was buried in Lindenwood cemetery at Fort
Wayne.
His wife, Susan, died in 1962, and is also buried at Lindenwood cemetery.
________________________________________________________________________
HISTORY OF THE MAUMEE RIVER BASIN.
Among the native sons of Allen county who have here attained gratifying
recognition and success in the medical profession is the subject of this
review, who is one of the representative physicians and surgeons of the
younger
generation in the city of Fort Wayne, where he has his office at 1608 Calhoun
street, and his residence at 2020 Broadway.
Dr. McKeeman was born in the village of Hoagland, Madison township, this
county, on the 27th of February, 1874, and is a son of David C. and
Margaret A.
(McConnaha) McKeeman, both of whom were born in Ireland, whence they came to
America with their respective parents when children. The father followed the
vocation of farmer until the time of his death, in 1876. His widow survived
him
by many years, her death occurring in 1894. They became the parents of twelve
children, of whom eight are living.
Dr. McKeeman secured his preliminary educational discipline in the public
schools of Madison township, after which he availed himself of the advantages
afforded in Taylor University, in Fort Wayne, and the Indiana State Normal
School at Marion, after leaving which latter institution he devoted his
attention to teaching in the schools of his native county for a period of two
years, meeting with marked success in his pedagogic labors but utilizing this
profession simply as a means to an end, as he had decided to adopt the calling
to which he is now devoted. In 1894 he was matriculated in the Fort Wayne
College of Medicine, in which well equipped institution he completed the
prescribed courses in medicine and surgery, being graduated as a member of the
class of 1897 and receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine. In view of his
standing in his profession it is pleasing to revert to the fact that he is not
only a native of Allen county but also, that he received his technical
training
in a local institution. Immediately after his graduation the Doctor opened an
office in Monroe, Adams county, and while he was necessarily called upon to
serve the customary novitiate in his profession it was not unduly prolonged,
and his success and prestige have been cumulative in character, so that he
stands well to the front among the able, popular and successful young
physicians of his native county, giving his attention to general practice. He
remained in practice in Monroe until 1900, when he located in Fort Wayne,
where
he has since followed the work of his profession. he is a close and
appreciative student, being duly conservative in his attitude but ever
standing
ready to avail himself of those agencies and advanced methods which meet the
approval of his judgment. He is an affiliate of the American Medical
Association, the Indiana State Medical Society, the Fort Wayne Medical Society
and the Fort Wayne Academy of Medicine, and he finds time and opportunity to
avail himself of the advantages of each. Though never active in the realm of
practical politics, the Doctor is a stalwart supporter of the cause of the
Republican party and he is essentially progressive and public-spirited as a
citizen.
On the 5th of October, 1897, Dr. McKeeman was united in marriage to Miss Susie
May Hocker, of Monroeville, and they have three children, Leland Stanford,
Lillian Theodosia and Donald Harry Cook.
