"The LaFayette Sun" - July 27, 1898:
On June 29th, 1898, about 12 o'clock, the family of Mr. William J. Lee gathered around the dying bed of one they loved. The children look down upon mother, the husband must also witness the death of his faithful companion while she quietly passed away from earth to eternal glory. In her last expiring moments she gladdened the hearts of all present by singing some sweet songs to the praise of her Savior "Did Christ Over Sinners Weep," "O For A Closer Walk with God," but best of all she sang, "I Am Going Home to Die No More."
Her maiden name was Lucy Magbee, and was married to Wm. J. Lee, and to them were born seven children, all living.
She was born in Butts County, Georgia, and died in Chambers County, Alabama, at the age of seventy-two years, three months and twenty-four days. She was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church, and was buried at Bethel Church, in this county.
My visits at her home always assured me that she was a child of God and loved the name of Jesus. May God bless the family we pray.

Mr. and Mrs. William Lee.
Mrs. Lucy Lee departed this life on June 29, 1898, at the age of 72 years, 3 months, and 24 days. Her original name was Magbee. She was born in Butts County, Ga., and died in Chambers County, Ala., where she had lived for many years. She was a member of the Missionary Baptist denomination, but for several years before her death was not able to attend religious meetings much, but showed clearly that she was a lover of the truth of the gospel, and died in the faith of Jesus, in whom she trusted and rejoiced until the last. While death was on her she praised His holy name and sang, "Oh for a closer walk with God", "I am going home to die no more", "Did Christ o'er sinners weep."
Her husband, Mr. William Lee, died March 23, 1899, in his 78th year. He never joined any religious denomination but in many ways bore fruit of that spirit of Jesus, such as love, joy, meekness, temperance, faith, etc. This couple lived together for many years as husband and wife in the most agreeable manner, and had for a long while resided on the spot where they died, and where they had raised a family of four boys and three girls – all grown, settled, moral and honorable men and women, still living to mourn the death of their father and mother. Some of them are members of the church of Christ (referring to the Primitive Baptists). Having known them for the last twenty years, the writer has reasons to believe that they now rest with Jesus. I send 50 cents for "Messenger" containing above to be sent to me.
