J.L. McGee of Mineral Wells passed away at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.L. McGee. He grew up a noble-minded, brave-hearted young man of high aspiration, a hard student while in school, and but few young men ever acquired such deep intellectual power as he did.
In 1875, he went to Waco, Texas, accompanied by his wife; four sons and one daughter. Since then, the family has lived in several different places but never moved out of Texas. He and his wife moved to Mineral Wells in 1916. When practically a young man, he professed faith in God and he, together with his wife, united with the Methodist Church in Kaufman County, and since that time he has devoted the rest of his life to the faithful service of God. They erected a family altar in their home and under this influence, they have raised four boys, each professing to know Jesus as their personal Savior. Whatever he did he did it with his might. He gave his youthful life to the service of his country.
Survived by his wife; four sons - Sam McGee, William McGee, Irving E. McGee, Joe E. McGee; 10 grandchildren.
His remains were transferred by train to Loving and laid to rest in the Red Top Cemetery with services at 4:30pm
