Thu lute Willinm S McKee. who departed this life on Mav '-'Htti, was born in the Htnti' of' Kntuokv, in the month of February, 1828. Here he spent the time of his youth and early manhood, receiving bis educa- ti n in the common hoIiooIh of tliim primitive times. In 1S02 hecrosixl the plains to seek the gold Melds of California. He made his tlrst settle ment in Sacramento, where he en gaged in contracting and building. in 1S5S lie went to Dutch Hut, Placer County, where he engaged in mining. Here he was joined iu marriage to Mrs. Mary Flack, and in 180i removed to Santa Barbara for the benefit of a milder climate. At Santa Barbara it seems that the love of home and home building inclined his energies toward his former pursuit of contractor and builder indeed, some of the loveli est homes in Santa Barbara are monuments to his refined taste and skill. A few years later he built the first house in a grove of live oak trees in tho beautiful Ojui valley, oue mile west of the town of Nord hoff, Ventura County; and later, one cottage after another was added, until the place reoeived. thei name of Oak Glen cottages, the home of invalids and - tourists. In the oa parity of host the finer qualities of njs nature were more observed, and his ever mild demeanor, frank, opeu face, cordial greetings and obliging manners were qualities whioh en deared the hearts of invalid and tourist, who bless the day of his living and mourn his loss. In 1888 the companion and wife of his earlier years passed away. His hope and trust in the promises of God were always manifest In times of sorrow, and at this time of bereavement he remarked toa friend, "I wonder who will take care of me when my time comes." Musing a moment he answered his own . in quiry -by-saying,-"God will take care of his own : I will trust him In 1897 he was joined in the holy bond of wed look to Mrs. Harriet B. Stanley, of Los Angeles, California, The union was in every way a very happv one, full of rich confidence and love Mr. McKee became a Christian in early life and always associated him self with the Presbyterian Church.
