Mrs. Irving Magee Dies
Mrs. Irving Magee, after a long life of more than four score of years, died Thursday , March 24, 1926. The funeral was observed at Mt. Moriah Church yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, Rev. J. A. Taylor, of Brookhaven Baptist Church officiating in the presence of a large congregation of friends and relatives. Mrs. Magee, although at 85 years of age was still counted as an active member of Mt. Moriah, whose history was made in her lifetime.
Mrs. Magee was the widow of the lamented Irving Magee, one of the best citizens Lincoln County has known. Five sons are left to mourn the loss of "Mother"; they are J. P. Magee, of Denton Texas: J. I. Magee, Hazlehurst; Edward Magee, New Orleans; C. F. Magee; Ackerman , Miss.; (this is Quitman, the thank you article listed him as C. Q.) M. C. Magee, Cleveland, Ohio. A sister, Mrs. Russell of Monticello, and Ike Sauls of Fulton and B. N. Sauls of McComb, two brothers, also survive.
Mrs. Magee had outlived her generation and felt the loneliness and decreptitude that came, at last, despite her fine philosophy and Christian fortitude. Like many, old saints who now " immortal reign" she fought the good fight of faith and was a heroine, although living quitely at the old homestead. Her arms became empty; but her heart was always filled with love for her boys and girls and pride in them.
May her rest be sweet, and may the influence of loyal, steadfast life last throughout all time.
