Mrs T A Mckee, a Former Beloit Lady, Passed into the Sleep That Knows No Awakening at Her Home in Manhattan Last Night
It is with sorrow that it devolves upon us as a painful duty to record in our columns this evening the death of Mrs T A McKee, a sister-in-law of the editor of this paper, which sad event occured at her home in Manhattan, Kan, last night at the age of 42, after some weeks of patient suffering from rheumatism, a complaint that had a different periods of her life, marked her for a victim. Mrs McKee, while living on the farm a little distance south of Beloit had a very severe attack of rheumatism a few years ago similar in nature to the one that has proved fatal, but from this she seemed to have completely recovered, and, as no bad effects from the attack apparently lingered, she was able to enjoy a respite from pain and a fair degree of good health until this spring when she became a victim of the grip, which developed into a painful attack of rheumatism which deprived her of all power of movement and confined her to her bed for many weeks. She was taken to a hospital in Manhattan, but manifesting a desire to be at home with her children, her stay at that institution was not of a long duration. For the past few weeks her condition showed no perceptible improvement, and her heart becoming the seat of danger, grave fears were entertained for her recovery. Whatever hopes might have been held out that Mrs McKee would once again be able to throw off the malady that held her in its thraidom were doomed to disappointment, and the death angel, which is forever hovering in our midst and knocking at the door of places whose occupants can least be spared from their spheres of love, influence and usefulness, visited this Manhattan home last night and summoned the wife and mother to accompany its mysterious personage into the vast and unexplored regions where rest the souls of countless myriads of the dead.
The deceased lady, before the family moved to Manhattan, lived the better part of her life in Mitchell county, having been brought here as a little girl by her parents, Mr and Mrs William Armour, when they moved from Solomon Rapids from Pawnee City, Nebraska, in an early day of Mitchell county's history. Originally from the neighborhood of Delavan, Wisconsin, the Armour family was intermarried with others from those parts that formed quite a settlement in and around Solomon Rapids. At the age of sixteen she commenced a very successful career as a school teacher in one of the country districts, a career of this nature that did not entirely terminate until some few years after her marriage. Rising in the course of years in her profession she at different periods taught in the cities of Cawker, Glen Elder and Beloit and in each and every instance enjoyed an unbounded popularity, with school boards, patrons and scholars alike. Imbued with a love of her profession, she was thorough in her methods, always courteous to the parents, patient with her scholars and optimistic to the last degree on everything connected with life whether it concerned the life of the school, home, nation or universe.
About fourteen years ago Libby Armour, by which name she was widely and affectionately known, became the wife of T A McKee, and went with him to reside on a farm, and the methods of thoroughness she had found so useful in the schoolroom, being transfered to this new sphere of work it was not until a few years that prosperity seemed to enter largely into the lives of the household over which she always held a kindly way. Becoming in time the mother of four children, and ever anxious for the promotions of their education and welfare, the family last summer moved to Manhattan, in order that advantage might be taken of the educational institutions of that city, which eventually meant the sending of the children to the State Agricultural College. There is no woman that has ever been connected with Mitchell county that has had higher ideals in life and has worked harder to crystallize them into something tangible and real. Faithful to her friends and conscientious in her duties, and with a spirit that never new (sic) defeat, she has gone down to her grave deeply lamented by all who knew her, leaving a place in her home that will be impossible to fill. Mrs McKee is survived by her husband, four children, two step children, an aged mother and an only sister and brother. A twin sister, the wife of T N Culver of this city, died some years ago.
The funeral of the deceased lady will be held at Manhattan tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
