The Late Mrs. Mary McGee. Tribute in Memory of a Noble Woman Who Led an Active Life
Mrs. Mary McGee died at Kibbey June 8, 1888, at the age of 52 years, five months and thirteen days. She was the daughter of Captain James Phelan and was born at New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland, in 1836. She appeared to have inherited a love for the sea, for early in life she crossed the Atlantic five times. She subsequently married Mr. McGee and was blessed with five children, all of whom survive her. Before settling in Montana, Mrs. McGee crossed the great plains to California and returned from there by way of Cape Horn. She resided in the east for a year or two and then set out again for the west, crossing the plains of Dakota and Montana where she lived for five years.
She was a woman of great energy and a zealous worker. Although she was well provided with world's goods and could have enjoyed the declining years of life with comfort and ease, she was not so disposed, for she seemed to think that she could not live without being industrious.
She died in the presence of her husband, two of her children, and three grandchildren. All that medical aid could do was done for her, but it availed not. Her time had come and she passed away quietly without pain. May she rest in peace.--A Friend
