Daily Local News, April 17, 1939

At his home, 25 West Barnard Street, yesterday afternoon, Joseph McNamee died 
suddenly, in the 88th year of his age.  He had attended St. Agnes’ Church in 
the morning, later suffering a heart attack, the end coming quickly.  He had 
been in good health previously.

Mr. McNamee was born in Ireland, coming to Chester County with his parents, 
William and Mary Smith McNamee, when a child.  In his early life he was a 
farmer in Birmingham Township, but after coming to West Chester, in 1891, he 
entered the employ of the West Chester Street Railway Company.

For nearly thirty years he served as a motorman on the various lines of the 
company, his last service being on the High street line, where he remained 
until the cars were discontinued on December 1, 1929.

He married Miss Mary Cannon, whose death occurred ten years ago.  Ten children 
survive: Mrs. Sarah Baker, Philadelphia; William B., Princeton, N.J.; Joseph, 
Llanerch; John, of Butler; Mrs. Mary Pratt, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Anna, wife of 
Horace Wilds, Philadelphia; David, Philadelphia; Stephen, Ardmore; Frank, West 
Chester, and Florence, wife of Martin Sheridan, West Chester.  There are twenty-
eight grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.

He was a member of St. Agnes’ Catholic Church and the Holy Name Society.
