Lee, George

George Lee, who had been making his home with the family of David Pryor, west of Newton, for about three years, died last Friday after a long illness from dropsy. Mr. Lee was sixty-three years of age, and a native of Ohio. He had an honorable record as a soldier in the Civil War, and as a Christian warrior, his service began in early life ­ having been a member of the M. E. Church from his youth. He was a brother-in-law of Mrs. Pryor in whose home the last years of his life were spent, and where he was tenderly cared for, in his long illness. The funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. C. Willits, pastor of the M. E. Church.
