Description:  Mrs. Fannie M. (WISSINGER) GEE, 1930


MRS. GEE DIES IN HOSPITAL

HANNIBAL WOMAN HAD BEEN IN POOR HEALTH SOME TIME

Mrs. Fannie M. GEE, 800 Broadway, widow of the late Thomas A. GEE, for 
years a prominent Hannibal resident, passed away at 5:20 o'clock Sunday 
afternoon [27 Jul 1930] in St. Elizabeth's hospital.  She had been ill 
for almost two months and on June 6, underwent an operation in the hope 
of obtaining relief.

Mrs. GEE was born in Oil City, Pa., but at an early age, with her 
parents, the late John W. WISSINGER and wife, came to Hannibal, and the 
remainder of her life was spent in this vicinity, where she was widely 
known, and greatly loved and revered by her many friends.  Mr. GEE for 
years a member of the Hannibal police department, and elected in 1911 as 
chief of police, passed away in October, 1915.  Surviving Mrs. GEE are 
three sisters, Mrs. P.L. KABLER of this city; Mrs. John BAILEY of Los 
Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. A.K. WORKMAN of East St. Louis; one brother, 
Dan WISSINGER of Noble, Mo., four nephews, Dan and David WISSINGER, of 
Hannibal; Charles H. CONRAD of Los Angeles, Calif., and Edgar F. 
WISSINGER of Florida.

Mrs. GEE for many years had been a prominent member of Park Methodist 
Episcopal church South, and was a member of the official board of the 
congregation, and of the Woman's Missionary Society and the Woman's 
Bible class of the Sunday school.  At all times, when her health 
permitted, she was very active in the work of the church, giving freely 
of her time and means to its maintenance and development.  A woman 
possessing a rare charm of personality, Mrs. GEE was popular with both 
young and old, and her beautiful Christian character was exemplified in 
her everyday life, while during her long weeks of suffering her 
unselfishness was exhibited in her constant thoughtfulness of those 
about her, and her uncomplaining spirit.  She was a true friend to all 
with whom she came in contact.

The remains were removed to Smith's funeral home and prepared for 
burial.  Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
