Mrs Olivia Gillispie McGee
Mrs. Olivia Gillispie McGee was born in Virginia in 1838 and came to Kansas City, Mo, in 1849 via the boat line to what was then Wasport Landing. She lived around that vicinity until 1854, in which year she came to Lawrence in a vehicle drawn by an ox team and settled on the claim on which is now embraced Oak Hill Cemetery, which her family afterwards sold to the City of Lawrence for a cemetery.
She wras married to John Jacob McGee in 1860, wh wooed, won and married her on the present site of Oak Hill Cemetery, where she was buried.
Mrs McGee lived in Lawrence continually with the exception of the last few years when she made her home with her sons in Kansas City, of whom there are six, and one daughter, who lives in Brooklyn, NY, her husband, W J Vann, being chief engineer of the Ward Line Steamships plying between New York and Cuban, West Indian and Mexican ports.
Mrs McGee s oldest daughter, Virdilla, was married on the old home place east of Lawrence, to George T Gaumer in 1881, removed to Yucatan a year or two later and resided there until the breaking out of the Mexican revolution, when they removed to the City of Mexico, where Dr Gaumer was engaged in biological work by the Madero regime. She died and is buried in the City of Mexico. Her family still reside, in Yucatan with the exception of John D Gaumer, a son, who is attending a school of electrical engineering in Milwaukee, Wis. His son visited his relatives last summer in Lawrence and Kansas City.
Mrs McGee was living east of Lawrence during all of the stirring border war scenes, and entered Lawrence within an hour after the Quantrill gang burned and sacked the city. Her husband was enrolled in the Kansas militia and was in the battle of Westport, and aided to drive Price away.
One of General Lane s children was taken ill during those stirring times, removed to her home at Oak Hill, and died there.
She came from Missouri, and one of General Lane's men arrived at her home and made away with some their horses, while she looked on perfectly helpless to prevent the robbery. However, it is needless to state that Jake McGee got those horses back into his possession at the point of a Colts revolver in West Lawrence.
A brother of the deceased, and the only surviving member of the family, J P Corel, is still enjoying: good health at eighty-six years of age. He has lived here continuously since settling in Lawrence in 1854, and still resides with his son, James H Corel, on the claim he pre-empted from the government.
Mrs. McGee's youngest son, Thos S McGee, is captain of a Missouri battery in the 129th Field Artillery, stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He attended her funeral. A large number of relatives from Kansas City and Lawrence also attended the funeral.
Mrs McGee is survived by a daughter, Mrs. William J Vann, Brooklyn, NY, and six sons, Oliver C McGee, John J McGee, Richard O McGee, Kansas City, Mo; Albert McGee, Kansas City, Kansas; Solon N McGee, Pasco, Washington; and Captain Thomas S McGee, One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Field Artillery, Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
