One night, some 51 or 52 years ago, a row took place in one that stood on the corner where Drummond's store now stands. Evan Magee (father of Thomas and W.J. deceased) was cut with a knife from the effects of which he died. A man by the name of Revels was indicted for the murder, and when the case came up for trial, he applied for a change of venue and his case was moved to Smith Co., where he was convicted of manslaughter, this having occurred before there was a penitentiary in the state. He was branded for the crime. After Magee's death, Mr. Miles, father of S.J. Miles of Harrisville, married his widow Naomi Magee.\"
Death of a father	Evan J MAGEE about 1836 (Age 11 years) Westville, Simpson Co, MS Note: Evan Magee was dead by 1837 since his widow's name appeared in the Mississippi census of 1837. 1837 Simpson Co Census - Jon and Naomi Magee Families
