General Notes: Husband - William Henry Magill


He was born about the time that William Henry Harrison died, and was named for him. He was educated in the common schools and at the academy at Rural Ridge. In September, 1861, he entered the army, in Co. E, 63d P. V. I., Army of the Potomac, serving until September of 1864. He was at the siege of York, Williamsburg and Fair Oaks, at the latter place contracting a fever. He was also at Gettysburg, Chancellorsville and the battle of the Wilderness, and was shot through the left hand May 7, 1864.
The family were members of the U. P. Church, and Mr. Magill was a member of sessions.
He settled on the family farm on account of his health, and his father divided the place between him and his brother George. In 1882 he had typhoid pneumonia, and was unable to work thereafter. He held at least four commissions as justice of the peace. He was elected at the age of twenty-eight, appointed, and resigned at the end of his second term, in 1877, to serve as representative in the state legislature, and was re-elected. He served the sessions of 1877-78-79, and was then re-elected justice of the peace, and held that position thereafter.
