Smithee (and All)….You must check out this website on Arlington burials! Turns out there are several McKee's buried there, but this marker you took the picture of is for

Thomas Hudson McKee served in the 1st West Virginia Volunteer Infantry and was an aide to Brigadier General Benjamin Franklin Kelley.
General Kelley is buried just to the rear of Lieutenant McKee's gravesite in Section 1 of Arlington National Cemetery. It is rumored that when he died in 1924 his wife, Nancy Matilda Funk McKee, built a large memorial to the Lieutenant in order to "block the view" of General Kelley. His wife (1851-1927) is buried with him


Scroll toward the middle, and you'll see proof ….Great eye, Smithee!!!
