It was with much sorrow that the friends at this place of Dr. James Lapsley McKee, learned of his death in Danville last Friday. He had been ill but a week and the news of his death was a shock to many who had not heard of his illness. For a number of years he was pastor of the Assembly Presbyterian church here and was greatly beloved, although he never made this place his home. For twenty-five years he was connected with Centre College, having given up his active pastoral work for his educational and evangelistic work. In 1873 Centre College lost about one-third of its endowment fund by the Falls City Tobacco Bank robbery and Dr. McKee raised a subscription of $ 130,000, thus saving the college from collapse. On his retirement from educational work several years ago he was elected Vice President Emeritus of Centre College, now Central University, which title he held at the time of his death. Dr. McKee was a native of Lancaster, Ky., having been born there in 1827. The funeral took place in Danville Saturday afternoon at two o'clock at the Second Presbyterian church, Dr. Ramsey, the pastor, being assisted by Dr. W. C. Roberts, Dr. W. O Goodloe, of North Vernon, Ind. Dr. Rout, of Versailles and Dr. Hubbard, of New York. A number of friends went from this place to attend the funeral. His daughter, Miss Lelia McKee, is president of Western College at Oxford, Ohio.
