When the war broke out Mr. McKEE went out as captain of Company K, Thirty-seventh Indiana. At the battle of Stone River, December 31, 1862, he was wounded, afterward being unable to do any more active service. He therefore resigned, having served his country for two years and two months. He was brought up as a farmer, but for six years before entering the army was a school-teacher. He graduated at Williams College, in 1855, the year before President Garfield. He was appointed postmaster September 8, 1873, and held that position for eight years. His successor was appointed on the 30th January, 1882, and within three or four weeks, Mr. McKEE died. His health had been deplorable for a long time. He was an elder in the United Presbyterian Church, and was a man of great probity of character.
