To this union were born seven children, three of them dying in infancy. One daughter, Mrs. Artie McBee, passed away September 19, 1928. The surviving are Mrs. Neva Cassady and Herbert Collins of Queen City, and Mrs. Lucille Ledford of Worthington.
Besides his wife and children he to survived by four grandchildren, Lavern McBee of Milwaukee, Wisc.; Pearly Casady of Stillwater, Ok.; and Estaline and Erma Collins of Queen City. One grandson, Roy McBee, passed away seven years ago at the age of 17.

His parents and eight brothers and sisters preceded him in death, namely: Mrs. Malissa Hatfield, Mrs. Matilda Hatfield, Mrs. Ann Reed and Mrs. Edna Sorrell, the others dying in infancy.
He lived in Putnam county until thirty-eight years ago when he moved to Schuyler county, where he resided on a farm until he moved to Queen City, five years ago.
Eck, as he was familiarly known by his friends, was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor and friend.
While he never made a public profession of his faith, he was a strong believer in the redeeming power of God and in the Primitive Baptist faith. He will be sadly missed by all his relatives and friends but, "we mourn not as one who has no hope for we feel that he has a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
