      Edward Eugene “Ed” McAfee, age 86, of Jewett passed away Saturday, December 1, 2018 surrounded by his loving family.

   Born August 7, 1932 in Rose Valley, Harrison County he was a son of the late George Edward McAfee and Sylvester Thompson McAfee.

Ed was also an excellent welder and mechanic who took great pride in any job he undertook. He was a member of the UMWA and Hopedale Legion Post #7477. His love was his family and his music; he played guitar and sang as part of the McAfee Band for 25 years.
