Saturday.
John MCKEE aged 18 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles MCKEE, of Fanny
street, died Saturday night at the Presbyterian hospital, Pittsburg, as a
result of injuries sustained in a collision about 4:30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon with a machine driven by Dr. W. B. DENNY, of Oakdale. The
accident occurred on the McDonald-Oakdale road, one and a half miles east of
McDonald.
John was riding his motorcycle toward Oakdale and at the point where the
street car tracks run parallel to the road, the fatal collision took place
MCKEE, who was following a car, attempted to pass it and on coming out on
the road behind the car, met Dr. DENNY driving in the opposite direction.
The young man made a frantic effort to avoid the collision and succeeded in
missing the automobile with his motorcycle, but the fender of the car struck
him on the leg, throwing him to the ground. He was immediately taken to the
hospital.
The young man was a member of the Robinson Run United Presbyterian church.
Besides his parents, he leaves seven brothers and sisters, all of whom are
at home.
Funeral services were held at the Robinson Run U. P. church on Monday
evening, in charge of Rev. J. H. DEBOLT, pastor of the Methodist church,
assisted by Rev. Albert LOVE. Interment was private on Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock, in the Robinson Run
