General Notes: Husband - David Hamilton Fee
He enjoyed educational advantages in the public schools, Jefferson Academy and local normal Schools. Mr. Fee engaged in teaching school in 1881-2, and then purchased an interest in the Canonsburg Notes, and within a few months became sole proprietor and editor of the paper, then a weekly publication. He conducted the business on his own account for ten years, when he associated with him his brother, William H. Fee, who had come into the office in 1883. The publication of The Notes was carried on for the ensuing twelve years by this firm, under the name of D. H. and William H. Fee. On April 18, 1894, they established a daily edition, at a time when Canonsburg was hardly more than a village. The paper, however, by careful attention, succeeded, and The Daily Notes soon became a permanent fixture. Its circulation became more than 2,000 copies, being taken in practically every home in the community where a newspaper enters. So firmly fixed became the daily edition that the weekly, which had enjoyed a large circulation, was discontinued at the close of 1905, and all attention directed to the daily. When the Notes Publishing and Printing Company was formed, in the autumn of 1904, Mr. Fee was elected president of the company. He was also the senior editor of the paper and directed its general policy.
Mr. Fee was an independent Republican in politics, but no political alliances interfered with his support of measures which he felt would benefit Canonsburg. Mr. Fee was one who has always had a deep appreciation of the beautiful in Nature and in Art, and his time outside of his office hours was divided between his flowers and fruits and his books. He also possessed some ability as a public speaker, and delivered addresses on a considerable number of public occasions. He was a charter member of the Monday Night Club-Canonsburg's oldest and most important literary society-and was active in promoting its welfare.
