Albert and Verna McKee were born in Clay County but lived all their married life in Sullivan County. They believed honesty, hard work and consideration for others provided the most satisfactory way to live. He was a farmer, miner and businessman. She was a proud homemaker who tended the children, sewed, cooked, canned, and otherwise presided over a flourishing and productive family.
