The McKee Cemetery (also known as the G B McKee Cemetery) is located 3 miles South and 3 miles West of Edna, Kansas on the Raymond Cranor Farm. To reach the cemetery you will take Jackson Road south out of Edna 3 miles. When you reach 1000 Road, make a right turn and go 3 miles to where the road dead ends (Gray Road). The Cranor Farm will be directly across the road. You will need to go through the gate and follow the road to the farm. After you cross the cattle guard you will see the farm and outbuildngs. On the west side of the road you will see another gate. The cemetery is located about a block or so through this gate and across the creek

*Obituary, The Edna Star, 13 Jan 1888
DIED - On Jan. 7, 1888, Mrs Josie Frye, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. McKee, and her remains were interred in the McKee grave yard. The deceased was a member of the M E church and leaves two children, son and daughter besides many relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The corpse was a beautiful one, seeming to be peacefully sleeping. It brought to mind:
Why should we mourn for dying friends
Or shake at death's alarms?
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call us to his arms.
The parents of the deceased take this means to thank the many friends for kindnesses shown their daughter during her illness
