Van McGee Obituary

General Sources

1. I believe that the family (wife and children) described here as Van's uncle, Jeremiah Levander McGee, are actually the family of this Van McGee. The cemetery notes for Mt. View Cemetery, Warren Co., list the following:

   McGee, Van. 12 May 1871-22 Jul 1948. [Levander, son of James W. and Margurite (Collier) McGee, husband of Tabitha Miller.]
   
   McGee, Bitha. 3 Mar 1862-22 Apr 1935. [Harriet Tabitha, daughter of George and Mary (Fuston) Miller, Wife of Levander "Van" McGee.]
   
   Stewart, Nealy M. 30 Dec 1894-25 Jun 1976. [Daughter of Van and Bitha (Miller) McGee, wife of R.H. Stewart.]
   

   However, if the marriage date for Bitha and Van is correct (24 Dec 1881), then Van would have been 10 years old. This relationship needs further confirmation.
