Agee was born in Morgan County, Tennessee, to Alfred and Catharine A. Agee. He moved with his parents to Pike County, Indiana, around 1861, as his father was an anti-slavery minister who wanted to move to a free state.[2] Agee remained in Indiana until 1872.[3] He spent some time in Illinois and also studied law, and ended up settling in Aurora, Nebraska, in 1874, and was admitted to the bar. He was elected lieutenant governor in the fall of 1882, and served one two-year term (1883–1885). He subsequently served in the Nebraska legislature.[3] He later moved to Utah and practiced law[4][5] and also served as a judge there.[1]
