Corporal, Co. B, 46th Mississippi Infantry

Confederate States of America


Published in the Lawrence County News, October 24, 1907:


Mr. George Magee, one of the oldest inhabitants of this place, died last Wednesday. Everthing possible was done to check the disease- bronchitis-but after a fight of a few days the weakened body succumbed. Mr. Magee was one of thirteen sons and four sisters. He was the father of six sons and four daughters, all of whom are living except one. He had upward of sixty grand and great-grand children. May the great Father comfort the bereaved.

Death of Geo. W. Magee.

A letter from Hon. C. A. Dale bears the sad intelligence of the death of the above named honored citizen, of Prentiss, after a brief illness. Mr. Magee was 70 or over, and was one of the first settlers of Blountville, now the flourishing railroad town of Prentiss. He was one of the widely known family of Magee Brothers, who for nearly two generations have ranked among the best citizens and most thrifty farmers of this section of the State. Before giving up his farm at Prentiss to the encroachments of that growing railroad town, he was the first farmer a number of years to bring to Brookhaven market the first bale of new cotton and the winner in this way of many first bale premiums at this place.

To the bereaved relatives The Leader extends its sincere sympathy and condolences.
