Albert Darryl (Fibber) Magee was born in Harrison County 3 miles east of New Hampton on July 12, 1913, and departed this life Jan. 25, 1977, in the Missouri Methodist Hospital at the age of 63 years, 7 months and 13 days, following a lengthy illness, being hospitalized 6 months. The day of Darryl's death was the same date as his mother's death 16 years ago.
He was the son of Albert Raymond and Lena (Hill) Magee and spent his childhood at the farm home 2 miles south of New Hampton. He attended school at Maple Grove.
On March 20, 1935, he was united in marriage to Chloe Green. They moved on their farm south of New Hampton in 1946 where they lived until the fall of 1955, when they moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, where they owned and operated 2 apartment houses. He formerly owned and operated "Fibber and Molly's" Tavern in St. Joseph for 4 years.
He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Chloe of the home, 2 sisters, Mrs. Mabel Meyer, New Hampton, Mo., Mrs. Kathleen Amedo (sic), Lakewood, Calif., one brother, Russell (Pete) Magee, New Hampton, Mo., several nieces and nephews and a host of relatives and friends.
Those preceding him in death were his father and mother, 3 infant brothers, Hobart, Homer, Robert and one infant sister, Lucille.
Darryl will be sadly missed by all who knew him, as he enjoyed his friends, and was a friend to all.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Jan. 28, 1977, at the Noble-Roberson Funeral Home in New Hampton, Missouri, with Rev. C.L. Carson officiating. Songs: "Take My Hand Precious Lord" and "The Old Rugged Cross" were sung by Mrs. Mary Greene of Omaha, Neb., who was her own accompanist.
Pallbearers were nephews Bill Magee, Bob Magee, Lynn Meyer, J.D. Greene, Joe Greene and Max Greene.
Burial was in Foster Cemetery near New Hampton, Mo.
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."
