His parents were Philip Kehoe (1. When Kehoe was 1. The oil fuel soaked her, and she caught fire. He watched his stepmother burn for a few moments before throwing water from a bucket on her; due to the oil- based nature of the fire, the water exacerbated the flames.

During this period, in 1. He paid $6,0. 00 in cash and took out a $6,0.

Neighbors also recounted how Kehoe was cruel to his farm animals, having once beaten a horse to death. He was in the height of his glory when fixing machinery or tinkering. He was always trying new methods in his work, for instance, hitching two mowers behind his tractor. This method did not work at different times and he would just leave the hay standing.
He also put four sections of drag and two rollers at once behind his tractor. He spent so much time tinkering that he didn't prosper. While on the board, Kehoe fought for lower taxes and was often at cross purposes with other board members, voting against them and calling for adjournment when he didn't get his way.

The second 5. 00 pounds (2.
As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and in a struggle with the school superintendent, detonated dynamite inside his shrapnel- filled truck, killing himself and Superintendent Huyck, as well as killing and injuring several others (including a boy who had survived the school bomb). These explosives, connected to an alarm clock that was supposed to act as the detonator, had been set for the same time as the other explosion.
