Mrs. Malinda J. Magill, 86, died early this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Baker at 524-B Lincoln Street, Watsonville, where she had been living the past year and a half.

Malinda Jane (Patton) Magill was born Oct. 31, 1851, in Sullivan Co., Indiana, the daughter of John and Mary Ann (Ring) Patton. She came to Chase Co., Kansas in 1868 with her parents, sisters and brothers, and they lived just south of the Cottonwood River where the Stone Arch Bridge stands.

Malinda and John Marshall Magill had ten children: Isabelle M., Adaline M., John Alexander, Josephine, Walter Marshall, William Henry, Joseph Orin, James Monroe, Leona M., Arnold Sylvester Magill. After her marriage, Malinda and John Marshall Magill moved to Harvey Co., Kansas. All but the youngest child was born in Kansas.

In 1890 they moved to San Bernardino County, California, in the Rialto area, where she remained until her last year and a half, when she moved to Watsonville to live with her daughter Mrs. Josephine Baker.

She was a member of the Christian Church of Rialto, California.

Survivors are four daughters: Mrs. Charles (Josephine) Baker, Mrs. C. R. (Isabelle) Roth of Flagstaff, Arizona; Mrs. D. M. (Adaline) Barker and Mrs. R. (Leona) Farmer, both of San Bernardino; also five sons, Alex Magill of Colton, Walter Magill of Santa Barbara, William Magill of Los Angeles, Monroe Magill of San Francisco, and Arnold Magill of Artesia, California.
