From Iowa genweb: KINGSLEY: (Special Correspondence)

Mr. Robt. McGee (sic Magee) died at his home in Kingsley Thursday morning, Sept. 17th, aged about sixty years. Mr. McGee (sic Magee) has long been a sufferer from asthma many times having attacks which it seemed would prove fatal. Monday he caught cold which induced a severe spell of his old trouble. Being well along in years and somewhat feeble he had not the strength to resist the disease as
he had done in the past. He passed quietly away with his sorrowing family about him.
