Brother George W. McKee was born on February 12, 1843, in Maury County, Tenn. In 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate Army and served three years in the struggle between the States. In 1867 he was persuaded, under the preaching of Brother R. B. Trimble, to enlist in the army of the saints to wage a more righteous warfare. On September 23, 1869, he was married to Miss Lula Witherspoon. To them were born four children three daughters and one son. The son and one daughter preceded Brother McKee into the beyond by many years. Brother McKee lived a quiet, peaceable, gentle, noble, and useful life; a life, for purity and chastity, all would do well to emulate. He was absolutely harmless; and when he passed away, on January 7, 1915, it was not known that he had an enemy. To the writer he stated that he was ready and willing to go. May we be able to say as much when we reach the bank of the dark and dismal stream.
