Mary Jane was an excellent woman, and endured the trials and vicissitudes of a pioneer life with fortitude and Christian resignation. In personal appearance she scarcely rose to the average height of women. She had luxuriant black hair, dark eyes, and a fair complexion, with plump rosey cheeks and was considered a very handsome woman. She raised a large family, but the hardships of a life on the plains and the desert, coupled with her onerous domestic duties, undermined her rugged constitution, and she died at the comparatively early age of forty-one, and was buried at her desert home, far from kindred and friends.
Written by her brother John Franklin Meginness in his book The Family of Magennis 1891
