Swift County Monitor, April 20, 1900

Michael McGee                             

It is with a great deal of sorrow this week that we chronicle the death of our   
old friend, Michael McGee at Six-Mile Grove. "Mike" as he was familiarly called,   
made a friend of every acquaintance and the whole community will regret his   
demise. We are indebted to our Danvers Correspondent for the following   
information: Michael McGee an old and highly respected citizen of this community   
passed quietly away April 16 at 2 o'clock PM of pneumonia. The deceased was born   
in Ireland in 1821 and came to this country in 1860, landing In Boston. In 1878   
he   re-moved to Swift County where he has resided ever since.
Mr. McGee was a genial, whole-souled man with whom everyone was glad to meet and   
it is expressing it mildly to state that his death was deeply deplored by the   
whole community.  He has always led an honorable and upright life and was a most   
kind and considerate husband and father.    
 The funeral was held from the Visitation church at Danvers, services being   
conducted by Rev. P. M. Shea whose sermon was full of tenderness and feeling.    
After the address, Mr. M. McGuire, who acted as funeral director, gave the many   
friends present an opportunity to view the remains. After which the procession   
wended its way to the beautiful cemetery where all hardships and troubles are   
ended and he now rests with his God. A wife and three sons survive the deceased.
