Funeral services were held at the Baptist church yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. U.S. Thomas. Mr. Fee was a native of Ohio and was born August 22, 1826. He went to Illinois in 1852 and was mar-ried the same year to Miss Lucile Parks, who survives him. They went to Kansas in 1870 and came to Rogers from that state some ten years ago. Deceased was an ordained minister of the Baptist church for nearly sixty years and the better part of his life was devoted to the ministerial work. He has been one of the most faithful workers of the Rogers church and despite his advanced years was until very recently one of the most regular attendants. He had many friends among our people and was popular with old and young. Mr. Fee was an uncle of Miss Laurel Parks of this city.
