“MRS. DR. MAGILL. 

She Died In the Napa Asylum—Buried at Winters. 

The Winters Express of Saturday last [August 15] says : "All that was mortal of 
Mrs. Magill, wife of Dr. [Zachary Taylor] Magill, was laid in the grave 
yesterday morning [August 14] in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing 
friends. The lady's death occurred at Napa on Thursday morning [August 13], and 
her remains were brought here for sepulture. Rev. Father Walsh of Woodland 
conducted the services. Mrs. Magill was a woman highly respected by all who 
knew her, and one who labored for her kind, she having been a practicing 
physician up to within a few months of her decease. She will be missed by her 
husband, who was devoted to her, and by a large circle of friends. The sympathy 
of the entire community is extended to the doctor in his bereavement. 

"Mrs. Magill was born in Dubuque, Iowa, March 23, 1855, and while an infant 
removed with her parents to Chillicothe, Peoria County, Ill., where she was 
raised and educated in the convent at Peoria. She afterwards taught school 
several terms in Mason County, and was there married to Dr. Z. T. Magill in 
1878 [state records show them being married in Peoria County]. In 1880 they 
removed to Lincoln, Benton County, Missouri. Mrs. Magill began the study of 
medicine about this time. She afterwards attended the Woman's Medical College 
in Chicago three terms, passed a very creditable examination and was awarded a 
diploma. 

"After her graduation, she and her husband came to California. Mrs. Magill 
first engaged in the practice of medicine in Sacramento in 1884, and was 
eminently successful in her profession. She made many friends there during a 
residence of nearly four years, and was noted for her charitable disposition 
and kindness of heart.” END
