At the age of nine he moved with his parents to Lima, Allen county, Ohio, where he received his common school education and later entered the college at Lima, which fitted him for his profession as a school teacher during his young manhood. When but a young boy he was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he continued a member until the time of his death. Yielding to a strong conviction of call to preach he accepted a license as a local preacher and found field for the activities of his life while in health.

After retiring from the farm he engaged in the mercantile and grain business in Frankfort. Mr. McKee moved with his family to Westmoreland, and again engaged in the mercantile business a few years and then retired from business spending the remainder of his activities looking after his farm 6 miles west of Westmoreland.
