Transcribed by Pam Jones

He had been ill since early February from the infirmities of
age. He had been an active member of the Presbyterian church
for 50 years. Burial took place Wednesday at London, Ky., Mr.
McKEE going from his Chicago home to attend. He had visited his

Funeral Services For Dr. Wm McKEE At Florida Home
Not only Eutis, but the entire surrounding section, is sorrowing
this afternoon while the last sad rites are being conducted at
the Presbyterian church for Dr. W. P. McKEE, beloved pioneer
resident and physician, who passed to his reward Saturday, after
a short illness. His remains are being laid in their last resting
place in Greenwood cemetery, with the highest honors, bestowed
by the Masonic order, of which he was a lifetime member. All
business in the city was suspended during the hour of service.
Dr. McKEE was a native of Kentucky, having been born in Mount
Vernon in that sate 80 years ago. He came to Florida in 1884,
locating first at Pittman, and moving to Eutis in 1896, where
he lived until his death, practicing his profession until illness
forced him to retire a short time ago.
A man of kindly, loving character, he numbered his friends by
his acquaintance, and great as was his skill in healing bodily
ills it was ability in bringing spiritual and mental comfort
to those who were in distress.
Throughout his lifetime, Dr. McKEE, was active in the religious
and civic life of the community, a consistent Christian and member
of the Presbyterian church, which he served as an Elder for 44
years. He was a thirty-third degree Mason, having attained the
highest honors possible in that great fraternal body, in 1923.
he was an honorary member of the Royal Order of Scotland, being
one of about 600 who have attained that distinction, and one
of the 400 honorary members of the Royal Order of Constantaine.
Dr. McKEE’s death, which occurred early Saturday morning,
was the result of a complete breakdown of his system, that occurred
only a few weeks ago, and while not enterely unexpected, came
as a shock to the entire community. Funeral services were held
in the Presbyterian church at two o’clock, this afternoon,
in the presence of a large throng of sorrowing friends. Many
beautiful floral offerings testified to the love and esteem in
which he was held. The services at the church were conducted
by his pastor, Rev. S. H. Moore.
Following the church services the sad procession wended (sp)
its way to Greenwood cemetery, where the last rites were conducted
by the Masonic lodges of the Golden Triangle, assisted by several
prominent members from other sections of the state.
Besides his widow, Dr. McKEE is survived by one sone, William
McKEE of Chicago, and a grand-daughter living in Kentucky. Two
sons and a daughter preceded him to the Great Beyond.
Eustis promises today to be the most talked of Masonic city in
the country as the unique circumstances attending the funeral
of Dr. W. P. McKEE, become nationally known. Within the memory
of no local Mason can it be recalled that eight Masonic pallbearers,
each of the 33rd degree attended a former 33rd degree Mason.

Jerry Meadows, a Newbern negro, aged 55, was found in a dying
condition Thursday afternoon about 5 o’clock on what is
known as King’s hill on the Joe L. Vaughan farm by some
boys. He never rallied.
The boys reported the matter to Mr. Vaughan who called local
officers that an investigation might be made to determine the
cause of Meadow’s death. Dr. R.F. Thornhill, coroner, and
Sergeant J.I. Carper responded to the call, and after viewing
the remains, Dr. Thornhill pronounced death was due to heart
trouble, to which the deceased had been subject. The remain were
removed to his home in the negro settlement of Newbern. Meadows
had gone into he field to pick strawberries, as evidence by a
partially filled pail near the body.
A coincident with Meadow’s death is that his next door neighbor,
Teany Baker, dropped dead from the same disease about one year

He often said that he loved delivering flowers because it allowed
him to make so many people happy. He enjoyed cooking for family

was crowned champion bowler for the fifth naval district, twice
scoring a perfect game of 300. He is survived by his best friend
and loving wife Eleanor Hall Moore of Pulaski; son and daughter-in-law,

Brian and Krista; and three great-grandchildren, Jeremy, Brandon
and Sammy; and by numerous nieces and nephews and close friends,
many among the Hispanic community, who he thought of as family.
Very proud of his entire family, he was especially proud of his
grandson, Aaron who recently enlisted in the United States Army
and is currently in missile training at Fort Benning, Ga. A graveside
