McKee, an enterprising agriculturalist residing on section 2, Sioux Falls township, is widely recognized as one of the worthy native sons and influential citizens of Minnehaha county, South Dakota. His birth occured in Sioux Falls on the 17th of September, 1876, his parents being John and Ella (Brooks) McKee, the former being a native of Belfast, Ireland, and the latter of Dodge county, Wisconson..... John T. McKee acquired his education in the public schools of his native city and also pursued a course of study in the Sioux Falls Business College. Subsequently he began the study of pharmacy but at the end of about a year in a Sioux Falls drug store was advised by the physician to obtain outdoor work. Accordingly he turned his attention to general agricultural pursuits and during the past eighteen years has cultivated a tract of land in Sioux Falls township, on section 2, which his father had acquired. Three years ago he came into possession of the southwest quarter of section 2, on which his residence and farm buildings stand. His undertakings as an agriculturalist have been attended with gratifying results, for he follows practical, modern methods in the work of the fields and annually gathers bounteous harvests. On the first of June, 1898, Mr. McKee was united in marriage to Miss Cora Baldwin, of Hudson, Iowa, by whom he has two children, Roland and John. He gives his political allegiance to the democracy and has served as a member of the school board for several years, the cause of education ever finding in him a staunch champion. In religious faith he is an Episcopalian, and in the community where his entire life has been spent he is widely recognized as an upright, esteemed and representative citizen. George W. Kingsbury, History of Dakota Territory, Vol. 5 (Chicago: S. J. Clarke, 1915) pp. 494 – 497. John T. McKee lived to the age of 66 years and died in 1942. He rests in the family lot ( Block 17 – Lot 6) of the cemetery along with his wife, parents, a son, and members of the Bowen family.
