General Notes: Husband - Dr. George Whitten Magee

---

He acquired his early education in the public and private schools of the home locality, later taking a course in Grove City College, from which he was graduated in 1886 with the degree of M. A. Then he studied for three years in the Western Pennsylvania Medical College, graduating March 28, 1889, and immediately commencing practice in Venango County, Pennsylvania. During the first three years of his independent career he was located at Seneca, removing to Oil City in 1892, on June 16th of which year he formed a partnership with Drs. J. A. Ritchey and C. W. Coulter. The association lasted until Oct. 1, 1897, when Dr. Coulter retired, the other two partners remaining in practice together until June, 1903, from which time Dr. Magee maintained his own office. Besides looking after the multifarious duties of an extensive patronage, he kept in touch with the incidental activities of his profession in his home territory and beyond, being a member in good standing of the Oil City Medical Society, the Venango County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and the American Medical Association; a member of the board of examiners of the Oil City Training School for Nurses; surgeon of the Erie railroad for over ten years; and a trustee of the Polk Institute for the Feeble Minded, at Polk, Venango County, for nine years, having been appointed by three governors. Dr. Magee's professional labors brought him into familiar association with representatives of all classes in the city and county, and recognizing the need of corrective measures in many phases of the administration of local affairs he gave willingly of his time and counsel to attain them, officially and unofficially, as necessity urged and opportunity allowed. For twelve years he was a member of the Oil City school board, and was three times elected president of that body; he also served two consecutive terms in the State legislature, to which he was elected in 1902 and 1904, in all his public services exhibiting unusual capacity and understanding of the matters intrusted to him by his fellow citizens and fully able to conserve their best interests therein. He was a Republican on political issues. In the year 1911 Dr. Magee made a trip to Europe, his wife and family accompanying him, and they remained abroad several months, Dr. Magee meanwhile taking advantage of the opportunities presented by notable foreign institutions for advanced professional work. While in Scotland he took a special vacation course at the Edinburgh Post Graduate Hospital, in connection with the University and Royal College, returning well fortified to resume practice, in which he was busily engaged up to the time of his death. Dr. Magee was a high Mason, affiliated with Petrolia Lodge, No. 363, F. & A. M.; Oil City Chapter, No. 236, R. A. M.; Talbot Commandery, No. 43, K. T.; Pittsburgh Consistory, A. A. S. R.; and Zem Zem Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Erie, Pa. In religion he was a Presbyterian. [HVC 1919, 486]
