OBIT: LOOGOOTEE ENTERPRISE, Loogootee, IN, Fre, 20 Oct 1899, GEORGE MCATEE
George McAtee was born in Missouri, November 14, 1820. He departed this life on
October 14, 1899, at the age of 79 years and 11 months. He was an old pioneer and came to
this country when it was a wilderness. Some few months ago he was afflicted with that
dreaded disease cancer, and awaited the end with patience and resignation. He leaves a
wife and several children to mourn his loss, but their loss is his gain. He was a devout
member of the Catholic church. He was interred at St. Mary's, on Monday, Oct 16, and
a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives followed his remains to their last
resting place. His six sons-in-law were the pallbearers. May he rest in peace.
His obit also appears in the Daviess County Democrat on Sat, 21 Oct 1899.
