General Notes: Husband - John McEntyre Magaw


He was born in New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and in that place he spent his youth, attending the public schools until his entrance into Beaver College. During the three years that the family residence was in Macon County, Illinois, he assisted his father in the duties of their large estate, and he also employed himself in various ways in the hotel at New Brighton. In 1890, when his father became owner of the Central Hotel of Beaver Falls, he was admitted into partnership, and after the death of his father in 1893 he became sole proprietor and manager of the hotel.
The hotel was located at the intersection of Sixth avenue, Third avenue, and Sixth street and was of red brick, four stories, and its rooms were commodious, tastefully furnished, and comfortable. Mr. Magaw fortunately inherited his father's genius for pleasing and satisfying the guests of his house. Political office was never one of his desires or aspirations, but he gave his support to the Republican party. He held membership in the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
