B. McKEE, 1413 Fourth avenue. // Mr. McKEE, who was a captain in the American Expeditionary Forces during the World war, had been in ill health for some time. However, he had shown improvement, and his death was unexpected. Mr. McKEE succumbed suddenly while conversing with his mother and sister, Mrs. Robert M. LEWIS, during his daily visit to his mother’s home. // Native of Alabama // Mr. McKEE was the son of Florence MAHONE McKEE and the late Lee Bourke McKEE who died last April. He was born in Troy, Ala., Dec. 18, 1895, but had been a resident of Columbus since 1897, his parents having moved back to Columbus, their home town, in that year. // After attending Columbus public schools and graduating from high school as president of the class of 1914, he matriculated at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala., where he specialized in pharmacy. // While attending Auburn, he volunteered his services in the United States army and served as a captain in the Sixth division, remaining overseas for more than one year. // He was married to Margaret Bryan BULLOCK on November 2, 1921.
