Christopher Columbus McGee was born in Surry County, North Carolina, March 21st, 1860. At the age of nine years he moved with his mother, two sisters and grandparents to Iowa. Here he grew to manhood.

While but a young man of tender years he united with the M. E. church and was baptised but was never satisfied with his relation to God. So after he had partially raised his children to manhood and womanhood and during a revival at Pitts Chapel, he together with sons of his children professed faith in Christ and joined the church at that place where he remained a faithful Christian until his death.

The writer of his piece was not in his home many times that he did not talk on the subject of religion and usually read selections from the Bible. He was married to Miss Emma Etta Adams, May 7th, 1882, in the state of Iowa. To this union were born nine children, seven of whom survive. One, Ira Beedley died at only a few weeks of age and Wilbur Harley died at the age of 14 years.
He moved with is family to Cass County, Missouri in the spring of 1902 and purchased and moved to the farm on which the family still lives.

After an illness of about two months of typhoid fever, he departed this life September 7, 1914 at the family home.

Everything was done for him by family nurse and physician, that human hands could do but without avail. So he passed through the "Valley of the shadow of death" to the Great Beyond.

A prayer and song service was held at the home after which the funeral services were held at Pitts Chapel at 3 p. m. September 7, 1914 and the remains were laid to rest in the Shumate cemetery adjoining the church yard.

The funeral services were conducted by Brother Tom Huffine who also conducted the revival in which Mr. McGee was converted, and who had at the same place and hour seven weeks before conducted the funeral services of Mr. McGee's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Albert McGee.

He leaves a wife, seven children and two sisters together with a number of other relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death.

He was a most genial, kind and affectionate husband a kind and indulgent father and a good and sympathetic neighbor and friend.

He bore his intense suffering with Christian fortitude and often during his sickness expressed himself as being happy in God's love.

The children who survive are Ivy Louisa, William Robert, Christopher Leroy and Martha Etta all at home, Lewis Albert of Austin, Mo., Charles Henry of Rippy, Iowa and Mrs. Edwin G. Hicks [Cora] of Prescott, Washington.
