PIONEER HERE
DEATH VICTIM
Dr. J. D. Magee, 74, Succumbs
to Pneumonia; Rites Saturday
Funeral rites will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 4 for a pioneer Abilenian, Dr. Jefferson D. Magee, 74, who died at 1 o'clock Friday morning from lobar pneumonia.
The service will be held from Laughter Funeral home, and burial will be in the Masonic cemetery. Dr. Millard A. Jenkens, pastor of the First Baptist church, will be the officiating minister.
Dr Magee was a native Mississippian, born in Pike county in 1861. He came to Texas as a young man, and in 1902 moved to Abilene from Tyler. He practiced his profession, medicine, here for many years until, several years ago, failing health caused his retirement. For many years he was one of the city's leading druggists, continuing, however, his medical practice while he operated the store at Pine and First streets.
Surviving Dr. Magee are his wife; five sons, of whom four are physicians or dentists; one daughter; and two brothers. The sons are Dr. L. Holt Magee, Abilene; Dr. R. C. Magee, Dallas; Dr. H. C. Magee and Dr. J. D. Magee, Jr., New Orleans; J. M. Magee, registered pharmacist, of Fort Worth. Mrs. V. V. Strahan of Big Spring is the daughter. The brothers are J. S. Magee of Tyler and Dr. L. S. Magee of Hamlin.
