Fr David Strong SJ, The Australian dictionary of Jesuit biography 1848-2015, Second Edition, 2017:
Keogh, Francis

Pastor; born Melbourne, Victoria, 20 May 1854; died Sydney, 9 December 1929, aged 75.

Francis Keogh was one of the first pupils at St Patrick's College, East Melbourne, when the Jesuits took over in 1865. He worked as a pharmacist before entering the Society at Sevenhill, 5 February 1880. He taught the lower classes at Riverview, book-keeping, writing, arithmetic and Latin, 1882-87, before going to philosophy and theology studies at Milltown Park, Dublin, 1887-93. Tertianship followed at Castres with Paul Ginhac, 1893-94, and then he returned to Australia and St Patrick's College, 1894-04, being rector from July 1897.

He spent a few years as minister at Hawthorn, 1903-06, and then was appointed superior at Sevenhill, 1906-12. He returned to Riverview teaching for two years, and then went to the parish of Hawthorn, 1913-18. Finally, for a few years, he was appointed rector of Loyola College, Greenwich, in 1918, and he remained there for the rest of his life, examining candidates and assisting the editor of the Jesuit Directory.

Keogh had a good sense of humour, and, even as an old man, would join in singing at novices' concerts with much mirth. He was a man quite without affectation, and was valued by the novice master for his work and counsel.
