Ken McKellar

Background
Ken was a United States Senator for Tennessee from 1917 to 1950 and only recently came over health problems, being diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, giving him 1 year to 8 years to live. He had tried to make the best of his fatal condition, but was recently hospitalized for a heart attack (x2).

Early Life and Current Status
In his past, he enlisted in the Canadian Army so he could help fight in World War 1, seeing that the US did not want to get involved at the time, leaving him with a wound (shrapnel injury) by the end of his service. Before his experience in the war, he took up a seat in the United States House of Representatives as the Representative for the 10th congressional district of Tennessee, holding his seat for three two year terms (1908-1914 - resigned to fight). After the war, he switched to the United States Senate, holding the seat until his death.
