KEADY, Hon William P.--was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, 1 April 1850. When but an infant his parents moved to Iroquois county, Illinois, when his father started the "Iroquois Times", and when quite young our subject entered his father's printing office, where he received the major portion of his early education. In June 1866, being then but 16, he enlisted in the army and served until April 1867, when he was discharged at Atlanta. He then returned to his home and followed his trade of printing, until the connection of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, when he crossed the plains on the first through train to California. In May 1872, he came to Oregon and accepted a position in the State Printing office at Salem, afterwards becoming the business manager and city editor of the Salem "Statesman".
