Francis Keogh

Francis Bernard Keogh (6 February 1861 – 9 July 1927) was an Australian politician who represented the South Australian House of Assembly multi-member seat of West Adelaide from 1901 to 1902.

The son of businessman Patrick Keogh, Keogh was born and raised in West Adelaide. He was educated at St. Francis Seminary, went to work for P. Falk & Co. manufacturing jewellers for seven years to 1883, and went to Melbourne for a period before returning to Adelaide. In 1886, he was appointed secretary of the South Australian Building Society. He was manager and editor of early Catholic publication the Catholic Monthly, served as vice-president of the West Adelaide Football Club and was a long-time contributor to The Southern Cross, serving as its acting editor in 1900. He was also defeated for his city council seat in December 1902 in a major and unpredicted upset.

In 1902, he became secretary of the South Australian branch of the Licensed Victuallers' Association, a position which he held until his death. He was buried at the Roman Catholic Cemetery in West Terrace.
