Joseph M. Magehan 

Died at his residence in St. Louis on the 29th April, Joseph M. Magehan, Esq., 
aged fifty-five years.  The deceased was the only surviving brother of Michael 
Dan Magehan. He was born in Loretto in March, 1808.  He removed to St. Louis 
in 1828 where he resided up to the time of his death.  He has filled many and 
important offices in that city, with credit to himself and benefit to the people.  
Faithful and kind to his friends, forgiving and forgetting enemies, he died as he 
lived – at peace with the world.  A Christian in life, he left for we hope a home 
where no care or sorrow can approach him.  May our end be like to his.  
Surrounded by a loving family, consoled by the last and most solemn religious 
rites, he left this world for it is to be hoped a better and happier one.  R. J. P.
