McKee, Leo F Dr.
Dr. Leo F. McKee, the son of
S.M. and Julia McKee was
born in Sioux City, Iowa,
May 27, 1917. He attended
Grade School and High School
in Kansas City, Kansas. He
attended K.U. Medical School
and graduated in 1939. For
his internship Dr. McKee
went last to Elizabeth, New
Jersey spending two years at
Elizabeth General Hospital.
Two important events took place in the life of
Dr. McKee in 1941 he was married to Lillian A.
Leonard at Sacred Heart Church in Elizabeth, New
Jersey and 3 months later he became Captain in the
United States Army. Captain McKee served in the
South Pacific from 1941 to 1945.
The McKee's headed west and came to Chase
County on June 1, 1946. Dr. McKee set up practice
in Cottonwood Falls in an office over the Scribner
Insurance Agency. A new office building was constructed just west of main street and Dr. McKee
moved his office there March 1950, at this time he
is still located in the office building.
Dr. and Mrs. McKee are the parents of two sons:
Leonard John, born December 4, 1945. He is married
to Terri Lee Roberts. They were married January
9, 1967. Lyle Cy was born June 9, 1947 and was
married June 3, 1968 to Mary K. Yeager.
They have one Grandson, Jeffrey Joseph McKee.
The McKee's are very active in church and
Community work and we of Chase County are glad
they came, they saw, they liked, and they stayed
in Chase County.
