John W. McKee, a former resident of Attica, having married an Attica girl was found dead last Monday night in his home on Ashland Boulevard, Chicago by his daughter, Miss Louise McKee, who had just returned home from a weekend visit with friends at Michigan City. Mrs. McKee was also away from home, she having been visiting friends in Attica for two weeks up to Saturday when she went to Indianapolis to visit her sister, Mrs. Nellie Stewart and was in the latter city when she received word of her husband’s death. The physician who was called gave it as his opinion that Mr. McKee had been dead several hours, probably since Sunday morning. Mr. McKee had lived in Chicago several years and was connected with a wholesale firm in that city. He was born in Georgetown, Ill in Nov 1850, the son of Elijah and Abagail McKee, pioneer residents of that place. Mr. McKee was also a resident of Danville, Ill over 300 years ago and was manager of the Consolidated Coal Company stores in South Danville. He is survived by a wife and one daughter, Miss Louise McKee of Chicago. Mrs. Aaron Brazelton of Danville, Ill is the only surviving sister. – kbz
