General Notes: Husband - Francis McKee

---

Washington Twp, Fayette Co, PA; Uniontown, Fayette Co, PA

He had no school privileges, but fitted himself and taught school for a time. He later secured a position as clerk in a store in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, and later opened a store for himself, and from this, step by step, worked up to a position of means and influence. He was a man of strong character and uncompromising integrity. He was stalwart in his affiliation with the Democratic party. He had especially pronounced convictions on the currency question, being radically opposed to banking on general principles, and National banking especially. As illustrative of his feeling on these political and economic subjects witness the birth record made by him of his son Joseph: "And born of Democratic parents, shall be taught Democratic principles, and when be becomes a man I hope he will oppose the United States Bank."
