He returned to Putnam county about 1926 and taught in rural schools before he retired in 1932 and made his home in or near Unionville since that time.
His creed was a simple one. He believed the United States to be the greatest country on earth, that school teaching is the most important work and that money while a nice thing to have, should never be considered worth the price of polishing an apple or bending a hypocritical knee to anyone. he never assumed he knew the answers to infinity and was humble enough to admit it, though possessing his own views, which he (unreadable).

He is also survived by three sisters: Mrs. Mary Smith of Unionville, Mrs. Bertha Lane of Rockford, Ill., and Mrs. Stella Fowler of Unionville.
Mr. Magee's death came at two o'clock Monday afternoon December 27th after an illness lasting for several months. He was able to be up and around until the very last, and death came suddenly to him as he was preparing to eat his noon meal.
