He was educated in Cashel and arrived in Queensland where he selected land in the Lockyer region ad became a successful farmer and grazier. In 1911 he became an immigration agent for Queensland, based in Ireland.[2] On the 10th July 1872 O'Keeffe married Elizabeth Ryan[1] (died 1922)[2] and together had four sons and six daughters. He died at Laidley in August 1941 and his funeral proceeded from St Patrick's Catholic Church in Laidley[3] to the Laidley Cemetery.[4] Public careerO'Keeffe first entered politics as a councilor for the Laidley Divisional Board before unsuccessfully challenging William Drayton Armstrong for the seat of Lockyer in the Queensland Legislative Assembly at the 1902 Queensland state election.[5] At the 1904 Queensland state election he challenged Armstrong again and this time was successful.[6] In 1907 however, Armstrong won back the electorate.[7] O'Keefe stood one more time against Armstrong, this time in 1909 but was once again beaten.[8] He was a founder of the Queensland Farmers Co-operative Association and a director of the company from 1907. He was also a Director of the Booval Co-operative Dairy Company, and a member of the Laidley Agricultural Society.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=1862487934|accessdate=20 May 2016}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before= William Drayton Armstrong}}{{s-ttl |title= Member for Lockyer|years=1904–1907}}{{s-aft|after=William Drayton Armstrong}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:OKeefe, Michael}}2. ^[https://www.qld.gov.au/law/births-deaths-marriages-and-divorces/family-history-research/ Family history research] — Queensland Government births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.
