FRANK KKK PARSES.
Young Pharmacist Succumbs to
Pneumonia.
It has been said that "Death loves
a shining mark." 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. Harper, Paul Moore,
and J. C. White of Lancaster, Dr. W.
E. Anderson, Robert Eraser and I.
H. Norris of Chester.
Dr. Kee is survived by his father
and mother and by the following
brothers and sisters, T. L. Kee, Mrs.
W. A. Gladden, W. C. Kee. J. S.
Kee, Leonard S. Kee. Jeff Strait Kee
and Miss Susie Wylte Kee. The
nearest Lancaster relative of the deceased
is Dr. T. J. Strait, the uncle
with whom he made his home until
Dr. Strait's removal to Columbia.
