Joe H. Lee, an actor, died at the Hominy Hotel Sunday after a brief illness from pneumonia. He was a member of the Lyceum Players, who were at the Electra theater. He was sick Friday but he took his part in a play and literally staggered through until the curtain went down. Death followed in about 36 hours.
Lee was about 40 years old and had been in the amusement business practically all his life, it seems.
He was a year or so ago a member of Pawnee Bill's troup. The Hominy Undertaking company, which had charge of the body, made extensive search for his relatives.
