    David Wallace McKee, Jul. 27, 1890 - Feb. 7, 1919. David Wallace McKee was a son of Noble Butler McKee and Gertrude Sproule. On Dec. 17, 1914 in Fulton, Missouri, he married Maurine M. Carter.…
     
  • Notes 
    • His family moved to Fulton in 1896, when he was 6 years old. His father was the Superintendent at the Missouri School for the Deaf, in Fulton, from 1896 until his death in 1911.

      It appears that soon after their marriage, David and Maurine Carter McKee moved to Pennsylvania when he got a job teaching at a deaf school. His mother most likely moved with them or soon after, she was listed on his draft card as a dependent.

      On June 5, 1917 he registered for the draft in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. He was teaching at the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and lived in Edgewood Park, Pa. at that time. His wife and mother were both dependents, living with him. The paperwork says he was medium tall, slender build, brown eyes and black hair. It did not list any children.

      I have not found out how he died, whether it was in WWI or some illness, but by 1920, Maurine Carter McKee was back in Missouri, living with her family, and listed on the census as a widow. She married again later that year. I have found a newspaper reference to his death in 1919, still looking for obit. Have now found his headstone in Hillcrest, next to his parents, not near his wife.

      Fulton Weekly Gazette
      Feb 3 1905
      David Wallace McKee, son of Dr. N.B. McKee, superintendent of the School for Deaf, is going after pedestrian fame. The young man hiked it to Mexico Saturday night through a snow storm, covering the 25 miles in five and one-half hours. He started from Fulton at 5:34 p.m. and followed the railroad track nearly the entire distance. His feet are a little the worse for the walk, but otherwise he is all right.
