General Notes: Husband - Dr. F. Earle Magee


At the age of eleven, he chose medicine as his career and never permitted difficulties to change his deter-mination. From the local schools of New Vernon, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, he went to McElwaine Collegiate Institute, New Lebanon, Penn-sylvania, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1904. Matriculating at the University of Pitts-burgh, he was graduated with the class of 1908 a Doctor of Medicine. That same year he initiated a general prac-tice of his profession at Utica, Pennsylvania. This did not prevent him from further studies and acquiring the tech-nical knowledge and experience required for specialized activities. He did postgraduate work at Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, then later at Philadelphia Polyclinic (now the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine), and pursued courses in other institutions. On the walls of his office was a certificate of membership in the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. The best evidence, however, of his skill as an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist was his large clientele and his repu-tation which spread far beyond the bounds of Oil City and the county in which it is situated. A great deal of his time was taken by his activities as a consultant.
Dr. Magee came to Oil City October 1, 1915, and as a specialist in his profession. For a quarter of a century he kept in touch with colleagues and develop-ments in his specialties by memberships in medical so-cieties. He organized and for three years was president of the Northwestern Pennsylvania Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Society, which later merged with the Western Pennsylvania Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Society. In 1939 he was elected president of the Venango County Medical Society; and he was a member of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, the Pennsylvania State Medical Association, the Ameri-can Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology.
Along non-professional lines, Dr. Magee was a director of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind; a member of the Free and Accepted Masons and of the higher bodies of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, including the thirty-second degree. He was a popular figure in the Oil City Cham-ber of Commerce, a Republican in his political allegiance and belonged to the Wanango Country Club. Like his father and ancestors he was a Presbyterian in his religious faith, a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Oil City.


General Notes: Wife - Mabel Mildred Wallace


She was a graduate from the Utica High School and the Edinboro State Teachers College. She taught school in Venango County, Pennsylvania, for two years prior to her marriage. She was interested in cul­tural, educational and social affairs in Oil City, and entered prominently into club life. She was a member, past president and secretary of the Belles Lettres Club, of the city; member of the Putnam King Chapter, of the Daughters of the American Revolu­tion, by reason of noteworthy ancestry; member and Past Matron of Holly Chapter, No. 91, Order of the Eastern Star; member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Venango County Medical Society; and has the honor of being elected president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Womens Clubs in 1938 for a term of three years. She worshiped in the Second Presbyterian Church, of Oil City.
