Died, Oct. 7th, at Worthing, S.D., William E. McKee, aged 34 years; also on the same day at the same place Walter McKee, aged 24 years, sons of the widow McKee, of this place. The boys were born and grew to manhood in Freeport. About A year ago they mounted their wheels and started out for a tour of the west. About a month ago they turned their faces homeward and got as far as Dakota where they stopped for a visit with their sister, when they were stricken with typhoid fever, which resulted in death. They were worthy young men, highly respected by all who knew them. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows they are both buried in Worthing Cemetery in Worthing, SD. William was born Nov. 6, 1866 and Walter was born Feb. 14, 1876.
