H. Magness. The funeral of the late Thomas H. Magness was largely attended yesterday. Deceased was a native of The Hermitage, Tennessee, and was 74 years of age last Christmas. He came to California in 1853, lived awhile at San Francisco, then at Calistoga, and for the last six years at Rutherford. He has enjoyed excellent health, and did not look his age. Hair untouched and vigorous of limb, he was good for apparently another score of years, but that fatal complaint, pneumonial [sic] seized upon him and carried him away. He leaves no widow, but a family of six children - four girls and two boys, to mourn his loss. One of the daughters is the wife of our fellow citizen Henry Fowler, Esq. One of the sons is in Merced; the balance of the family remain at the paternal home at Rutherford." END Additional Comments: Napa Daily Journal (Napa County, California). April 3, 1874 (Friday).
