AN OLD
RESIDENT. MRS. THOMAS MAGEE DIED WEDNESDAY. We announced on Tuesday
morning that Mrs. Thomas Magee was dangerously ill with pneumonia and the public
was therefore not totally unprepared for the sad announcement of her death
Wednesday morning. Mrs. Flora Bostwick Magee was
the eldest daughter of Truman and Harriett Bostwick, pioneers of the Canisteo
Valley. She was born in the town Dec 27, 1827 and her whole life had been spent
here. Her father was one of the well to-do men of his day, and his daughter
received the best education that the country then afforded. She was naturally
gifted and developed into a woman of rare virtues of mind and heart. In 1853 she
was married to Thomas Magee, eldest son of the late Jefferson Magee. The fruits
of the marriage were one son, Harry, who survives. Thomas Magee died in 1873.
For the last ten years or more Mrs. Magee has lived on her farm three miles East
of this village. She was a sister of Mrs. A. J. Plimpton and Mrs. P. D. Schuyler
of tthis place. She was a woman whose society was sought by the cultured and
refined, and her warm generous nature drew to her a host of admirers and friends
who will sincerely mourn her death. The funeral services will be attended from
the residence three miles East of this city, at one o'clock Saturday afternoon.

REXVILLE: Fred, the youngest son of Thos. McCormick, aged 8 years, died at his home
Thursday after a brief illness. Canisteo Times (Canisteo, NY) June 29,
1904.
Mr. Thomas
McCormick, an old and respected farmer died at his home at
Greenwood on Saturday, Dec. 24th, 1887, aged 69 years. The immediate cause of
death was Brights disease of the kidneys. He passed quietly away, while the
silver chimes from many a church tower proclaimed the birth of an "infant
Saviour." It is to be hoped, that the "good old man," whose death occurred upon
the eve of such an event found favor in his sight. He was a man of sterling
qualities, whose voice was ever heard in defense of virtue and truth. He came,
when but a mere boy from that down trodden land to seek a home beyond 3000 miles
of water. He arrived in this country about 1820, and traveled westward with his
parents until he came to Greenwood. Here for more than half a century he
labored, clearing the forest, and "making the wilderness blossom like the rose."
His noble and upright character won for him the respect and admiration of all
who knew him. He was married when quite young, and had the consolation to have
the loving attention of a fond wife, and family in his last moments. He was
blessed in having the consolation of his holy religion to cheer him through the
"Vale of Death," and to prepare him for that higher tribunal before which we all
must appear. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of a large concourse
of friends and relations, in their trials. Canisteo Times (Canisteo, NY)
