Robert Solomon 1845-1888 was the first Postmaster of Magee, MS. The City of Magee was named for him, buried in Old Magee Cemetery.
Identified as a son of Willis Magee and Mary Norwood in the Magee Family History, developed by Leslie Magee of Mendenhall, MS 1990.
The Robert S. Magee and Eugenia Mangum Magee family Bible was owned by C.G. Magee of Collins, a descendant of Willis Magee of Covington Co, MS.
The Old Magee Family Cemetery is located just outside the City of Magee on Old Post Office Road in the Old Magee sub-division. It's one of the county's oldest and its upkeep is based on donations mostly from family members and/or friends of the family. [The cemetery is now privately owned]
This historic burial place was first started in the old town of Magee many, many years ago. The town of Magee, as it was known then, was named after the first postmaster of Magee, Robert Solomon Magee.
The cemetery has two confederate soldiers buried there. Robert Solomon Magee, born March 2, 1845, was buried there after his death on December 3, 1888. He was a member of Company B, Mississippi, Infantry CSA, and Richard Tullos, a member of Company A, Mississippi Calvary is also buried in the cemetery.
The cemetery took on the name of Bishop Cemetery following the burial of several members (estimated at eight) of the Bishop family at its present location.
A lot of the graves in the cemetery have no markers so it is unsure who is buried in some of the graves.
T.S. Bishop is also buried here with his wife and several children. He too was a confederate soldier, member of Company: A Unit: 6 Mississippi Infantry. Private Rank - Discharge:
