General Notes: Husband - William R. McKee
His father's family removed to Ohio, settling when he was seven years old on a farm near Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio. Here they lived until he was sixteen, and then removed to Harrison County, Ohio, near to New Athens, the seat of Franklin College, from which institution he graduated September 8, 1854. After spending one year in teaching he commenced the study of medicine, but, before completing the course, abandoned it, and entered the United Presbyterian Theological Seminary of Xenia, Ohio, where he graduated in the spring of 1859, and was licensed to preach the Gospel April 19, 1859, by the U. P. Presbytery of Wheeling, in the city of Wheeling, West Virginia. During his ministry of thirty-three years he had but two charges, both substantial country congregations. His first settlement was in the congregation of West Hebron, Washington County, New York, where he was ordained and installed, September 19, 1860. Here he remained until the fall of 1867.
On October 18, 1869, he was installed pastor of Robinson Congregation, by the Presbytery of Frankfort. There he remained for a period of twenty-three and one-half years or more, being one of the longest present existing pastorates in all those parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia bounded by the Pan Handle Railroad and the Ohio river. This charge was no sinecure. Being almost ten miles long from north to south and seven miles wide from east to west it gave him almost incessant labor, and yet he believed that few pastors had found fields of labor affording them a higher degree of pleasure than he. In this field he met with a good degree of success. While no great revivals have marked his career, yet there was a steady growth in numbers and efficiency. Although situated entirely in the country, and in a community where almost all the families were in connection with some church, with but little emigration into it, but subject to the usual depletion by death, emigration from it, and especially that drain of young men to the cities, it increased in membership from 110 to 200. In all those years there was a deep sympathy and cordial feeling between the pastor and his people.
