H. C. MCTEE

H.C. McTee was born in Chicago, Ill., Nov. 1, 1859, and passed away Nov. 13, 1920, at his home in Frenchtown. He had been ailing since early in the spring and gradually grew worse. After consulting the local physicians he went to Norfolk, afterwards to Rochester, Minn. and finally to Hot Springs, S. Dak. Receiving no benefit from any of the specialists he came home to await the dread summons which finally came. His trouble seemed to be in his stomach and nerves. He leaves a wife and four sons to mourn his loss: Charles H. and Elmer G. of Rushville, John C. of Elgin and Ray E. of Ewing; also three brothers and three sisters. One brother and a nephew from Hastings attended the funeral, another brother arriving late. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. Spracklin of Orchard by request of the deceased, Monday Nov. 15, at 10 a.m. Interment was made in the Orchard cemetery. The friends have the sincere sympathy of the scribe and entire neighborhood in their bereavement.
