At the time of his death he was aged 22 years, 2 months, and six days. Lee was an honorable young man, loved by both old and young. He was a member of the Baptist church and an ardent worker in the good cause. He leaves his parents, seven sisters, and four brothers to mourn his taken away. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community. – Bradgate Review
