Death again has taken another highly respected citizen, Raymond Magee, 64.
Death came just before noon Thursday, June 30, at a Bethany hospital where he had been admitted only Tuesday, although he had been in failing health several months. He was up and about his home and frequently came to New Hampton, where he greeted his friends with a smile, never complaining.
He leaves his wife, two sons and two daughters, Mable (Mrs. John Meyer) of New Hampton, Kathleen (Mrs. Bob Whitten) of Long Beach, Calif., Darryl of New Hampton, and Russell of Lone Star; two brothers, Oda of New Hampton, and Frank of Des Moines; one sister, Mrs. Riley Castle of St. Joseph; and seven grandchildren.
Funeral services were held here at the Christian church (sic) Saturday afternoon, the Rev. O.D. Hedges officiating, assisted by the Rev. W.H. Allen. Burial was in Foster cemetery (sic).

Albert Raymond Magee, son of Albert Warren and Eliza Jane (Nelson) Magee, was born Dec. 31, 1890, near Wilbur (sic), Neb., and departed this life June 30, 1955, at the Reid hospital in Bethany at the age of 64 years, six months.
He moved with his parents to Harrison county (sic), Missouri, at an early age, spending his boyhood close to New Hampton.
On Oct. 29, 1910, he was united in marriage to Lena Hill. To this union were born eight children, namely: Mrs. Mabel Meyer, New Hampton, Darryl Magee, New Hampton, Russel (sic) Magee, Albany, Mo., Mrs. Kathleen Whitten, Long Beach, Calif., and three sons and one daughter who died in infancy.
Raymond and Lena moved to their farm two miles south of New Hampton in the fall of 1913, where he spent the rest of his life.
Besides his wife and children he leaves to mourn his passing, two daughters-in-aw, a son-in-law, seven grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Roy, and two sisters, Mrs. Bertha Funderburg and Retta, who died in infancy.
He is survived by two brothers, Ota of New Hampton, and Frank of West Des Moines, Iowa; and one sister, Mrs. Etta Castle of St. Joseph, Mo.
He was a loving husband and father, a good friend and neighbor, and will be sadly missed by all.
The following poem is a very fitting tribute to the way he lived his life:
"I see from my house by the side of the road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife.
But I turn not away from their smiles and their tears
Both part of an infinite plan
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend of man.
"Let me live in my house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by.
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong.
Wise, foolish - so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend of man."
Funeral services were held July 2, 1955, at the Christian church (sic) in New Hampton, conducted by the Rev. O.D. Hedges, assisted by the Rev. W.H. Allen.
Billy George Noble and Helen Kinder sang "Does Jesus Care?" "Beyond the Sunset" and "Precious Memories."
Pallbearers were Everett Magee, Charley Needels, Bert Chipp, Roy Campbell, Melvin Edgar and Joe Dill.
Flower girls were Mrs. Everett Magee, Mrs. Charley Needels, Mrs. Bert Chipp, Mrs. Roy Campbell, Mrs. Marvin Dowell and Mrs. Charley Yates.
Burial was in the Foster cemetery (sic), with Noble & Son, morticians.
