James McKee

James McKee, the eldest of the family of John McKee, was born in Washington Township in 1828. At the time of the death of his father he was but twenty years of age. The responsibility of raising and educating the younger children fell upon him, together with the management of the farm. These children he has seen grow up to become men and women, since which time all have died except two of his sisters. He has kept the old homestead, and still resides upon it with his sister Elizabeth. Of the family of John McKee there are now left only three; only one—a grandson—beside James, who bears the name of McKee, to continue it to posterity.
