The land for Magee Cemetery was donated by C.T. Magee. Felder Magee,
son of C.T. Magee, died in 1871, and was the first person buried in
the cemetery.

Zula Mae Kennedy,wife of Herman "Pat" Kennedy, lives near Magee
Cemetery, and accompanied us when we recorded the cemetery.  She has
lived in the area all of her life, and many of the people buried in
Magee were related to Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy.  Mrs. Kennedy is the
daughter of John E. Wilson and Jane Grantham Wilson, and granddaughter
of Samuel Wilson.  The information and help she gave us was invaluable,
and comments were added in parenthesis.
