• Documents		Obituary- Magill, Margaret 1 MRS. MAGILL PASSES OVER Dies at Rossville at the Home of Her Daughter, Mrs. Hook With the death, Monday morning, April 10, 1916, of Mrs. Margaret Magill, widow of the late Dr. A. G. Magill, there passed away another link which unites Silver Lake to its past. The end came at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. P. Hook, at Rossville, at the ripe age of 87. When Mrs. Magill remained at Rossville all winter and spring her friends here knew it was because she was too feeble in body to come home. She loved her home here and not of her own free will would she remain away from it long at a time. Though sons and daughters were willing to care for her, she preferred to live in her own house, though in solitude. But all winter she had been failing in health, and her friends knew her end was near. Here she lived next door to Mrs. Hannah Oliver, whose death early in the winter removed perhaps the oldest inhabitant of this city. Mrs. Margaret E. Magill was the daughter of Miles and Ann Sweeney. She was born at Middleton, Del., May 9, 1828, being the second of a family of nine children, surviving all of them. While a child her parents moved to Mercer, Pa. She was graduated from Meadville seminary. She married John P. Kelly June 5, 1855, moving to Linn county, Kansas, and afterward to Tipton, Mo., where Mr. Kelly died. Later she married Dr. A. G. Magill of Tipton, Mo. They moved to Silver Lake in 1879. Dr. Magill died February 28, 1910.
  		Obituary- Magill, Margaret 2 She united with the Methodist Episcopal church when a child, being a member of the Silver Lake church at the time of her death. She leaves three daughters, one daughter-in-law, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They are: Daughters- Mrs. C. L. Dollman, Topeka; Mrs. W. V. Hook and Mrs. J. C. Bradley of Rossville. Daughter-in-law- Mrs. J.S. Kelly, Silver Lake. Grandchildren- Mrs. Freda Barteldies, Lawrence; Grove Dolman, Grove, Ari.; Mrs. Frank Davis, Kansas City; Vernon M. Neiswendder, Blackfoot, Ida.; Joseph E. Neiswender, Montpelier, Ida.; Thurlow Neiswender, Rossville; Miss Effie May Bradley, Rossville; Miss Ellen Kelley, Silver Lake. Great grandchildren – Two sons of Grove Dolman. While Dr. Magill lived the couple entertained all Methodist ministers who came to town, and pastors’ families found a home under their roof until they were settled. The Doctor began business here in the late seventies in a stone drug store on the present site of the J. Thomas Lumber Company’s hardware store, the building being owned by John Oliver, and the couple lived over the store. Later Dr. Magill built the stone building now occupied by the Kellner stores and The Mirror office and bought of John Oliver the residence just south of the J.S. Kelly stores. The funeral was held in the Silver Lake Methodist church yesterday afternoon, the sermon being preached by the pastor, W.J. Groat, and interment was in Silver Lake cemetery. Dr. T. J. Ream, former District Superintendent and particular friend of the family, was summoned by telegraph from Hiawatha, but owing to a home funeral was unable to come.
