The McLouth Times
Jefferson County
Friday
January 11, 1907

Dr. T. B. LEE was born at Burke Island, Jackson Co., Ill., Sept. 22, 1841. Was
married to Mary Ann BURMETT, April 2, 1863, in Williamson, Co., Ill. By this
union was born seven children, five of whom are still living. Mrs. Mary Ann LEE
died at McLouth, Jan. 24, 1895, after which Dr. Lee was married to Mrs. Susan
MATHENY, of McLouth. About seven years ago Mr. and Mrs. Lee moved to Hosper, Colo.
On the 8th of December 1906, Dr. Lee came to Leavenworth making a short visit
there and at McLouth among his children and friends. Leaving on the 12th for
Harrisburg, Ill., to a specialist to be treated for cancer. After passing
through the treatement he remained in the hospital a few days then came to his
brother's at Carbondale, Ill., there to rest and visit until he could gain
strength enough to make the trip home. He seemed cheerful and getting better,
but complained some of the heavy atomsphere and the great difference in the
light altitude of Colorado and the damp, heavy altitude of Illinois, which with
his weakened condition possibly effected his heart. Yet  he seemed cheerful all
day on Thursday and after eating a hearty supper he returned to the sitting room
and entered into conversation with the folks. He told them how glad he was that
the cancer had been removed and his eye healing so nicely. Shortly after he had
a little spell of coughing and placing his hands on!
  the arms of the chair and leaning back he dropped his head and quietly passed
away.
The remains were brought to McLouth arriving on the 6th, and funeral services
were held from the Baptist church, Jan. 7, 1907, at 2 p.m., at the close of
which followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends, and after a
beautiful ceremony by the Modern Woodmen of America of which he was a member,
the deceased was laid to rest in the Wild Horse cemetery. The family have the
sympathy of their many friends in this sad hour.
