Their first Canadian home was at Peterborough, where they lived for two years. Then they settled in Tilbury East remaining on their farm until twehty-four years ago when they retired and took up their residence in a newly-built home on Canal Street, Tilbury. Deceased was a school trustee in Tilbury East township for a number of years and always took an interest in public affacirs. He was a staunch Anglican and a lifelong Conservative. In December, 1928, Mrs. Magee passed away after years of semi-invalidism. But for failing sight, due to cataracts from which he had suffered for serveral years, Mr. Magee was unusually active for one of his age and was able to walk about until a month ago. Five days before his death he was taken to the public general hospital, Chatham, where death occurred. Last of his family. Surviving members of the immediate family - two sons, James, Ogden, Alberta; John A., Windsor; daughters, Mrs. Newton Ainslie, with whom he had his home, and Mrs. Albert Shaufler, both of this town." | ||
