General Notes: Husband - Joseph A. McKee

---

He held numerous township and borough offices, and at one time was burgess of Fayette City, Pennsylvania, and justice of peace of the township. He owned 400 acres of land in Washington township, and an elegant home on the higher grounds at Fayette City. He lived the principal part of his life in Fayette City. He was a leading democrat of his township and a member of the Royal Arcanum.

He was educated in the public schools of Fayette City and Washington college. He was largely instrumental in getting the P. & L. E. R. R. extended to Fayette City. He was a justice of the peace for fifteen years, and was a member of the Royal Arcanum and F. and A. M., in which society he was a past master, and by service a member of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.
The family were members of the Presbyterian church. Mr. McKee's handsome residence, which was built in 1876, was located on what was known as 'Whisky Mount', a spot commanding a comprehensive view of the Monongahela valley and the boroughs of Fayette City and Allenport. Whisky Mount received its name from its having been one of the camping places of the "Liberty Boys" during the Whisky Insurrection.
