Mr. Keenan went to Eloise in 1892 where he was the chief bookkeeper and while holding that position delved into many aspects of science. He dabbled in electricity and developed a twelve-plate, sectorless Wimhurst machine in 1896 which was place in the County House dispensary. Detroit physicians began sending patients to Eloise for diagnostic x-rays. On January 17, 1950, the Detroit News Daily newspaper paid tribute and credit to Mr. Keenan for the creation of the first x-ray machine in the United States.
Many high school classes were taken to Eloise to gain their first knowledge of electricity. He also wrote a book about the history of Eloise in 1913 which was published by Thos. Smith Press and a second history in 1933 which exists today only in manuscript form.
In addition to being the historian of Eloise he was an authority on mushrooms, a botanist, an astronomer and a student of ancient wars.
He was a member of the Michigan Society of Authors, Michigan Academy of Science, American Roentgen Ray Society, and honorary member of the Detroit Roentgen Ray and Radium Society.
He was survived by his wife, Mrs. Alice Keenan, and two daughters, Mrs. Dorothea Williams and Mrs. Mildred Hudson of Kalamazoo.
