The truth ot this statement was well exemplified in the passing of Frank Kee, called hence when life appeared so full of promise. Dr. Kee, when illness overtook him, seemed very strong and robust and his splendid physi que nave evicience or exceptional vitality. But when pneumonia laid hold of him. he became dangerously 111. Under the strain of combatting the disease, his heart weakened and Friday night the crisis came. Then it became appurent that he could not recover and the end came Sat urday afternoon. The tidlngB of his passing brought sorrow to many hearts for Frank Kee possessed a rare capacity for friendship. His quiet dignity won admiration and his honesty, loyalty and sincerity held the friendship that was given him. He was true and steadfast, kind and strong, gentle and courteous. In his character were combined many admirable traits which made his life a blessing. Lancaster knew this young man well for he had spent the best years of his young life here. Robert Francsl Kee was a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Kee, was born near Rodman's, Chester county, July 27, 1884. His early education in Chester county was supplemented by high school training in Lancaster, where he was graduated from the Lancaster high school. He subsequently finished the pharmaceutical course at the Medical College of South Carolina in Charleston. Dr. Kee then accepted a position with the Lancaster Pharmacy, whlck he held for sometime, going later into the drug business in Cheraw. Though successful in that place, Lancaster held greater inducements to the young pharmacist, who returned to this city two 'Pars ago, becoming president and one of the proprietors J of the Standard Drug Company. Dr. Kee was recognized as an able pharmacist, his knowledge of his profAsfiinn rnmhinAH vvitl% #?o un>\ skill in filling prescriptions, commending him to the people's confidence. In all of the relations of life, Dr. Kee had proved himself faithful. A loyal friend, he was also a devoted ioii and brother, as well as a sincere Christian. From boyhood he had tieeu a member of the Methodist church and a regular attendant upon its services. As a citizen he was progressive and generous. Dr. Kee was an interested and intelligent Mason, belonging to the Jackson Lodge, No. 53, A. F. M., and to Keystone Chapter, No. IP both at Lancaster. lie a as a mem- | oer of the Kuiglit Templar Coniniandery of Chester and was also a Shriner. On a special funeral vrain over the Lancaster Ac Chester Railway, the remains were accompanied to iiichburg by his loved ones and a number of Lancaster fiie s, and others still went ..-om t. place, from Chester, as well as from other points in neighboring counties, by automobile. Friends and relatives met the party in Richburg, and drove them to Pleasant Grove N th od.st church in the commui.ay in which he was born and reared. In this church, which he joined in boyhood, hundreds of friends paid their last tribute to Frank Kee. The impressive service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. T. Hodges, of Lancaster, assisted bj Rev. W. S. Good hum ui nivuuuig. in' was nuneu with the funeral rites of the Knight Templars, and the following mem- I hers of that order acted as pallbearers: R. S.
