Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Edward Magee was born in Ireland about 1818 to unknown parents. He was ordained a deacon in New York and came to Indiana, where he served as a missionary to Delphi between 1848 and 1849. He then moved to Mount Clemens, Michigan, organizing and becoming rector of Grace Church, where he was ordained by Bishop McCoskry to the priesthood. From here he moved north to East Saginaw, serving St. Paul's Church from 1858 to 1859. He was briefly in charge of Christ Church, Adrian, in 1859, and then returned to the Saginaw area to take charge jointly of St John's Church, Saginaw, and Trinity Church, Bay City. These areas were still heavily timbered and served loggers and their families. In 1880, he served a church in Alpena, and in 1885 he was in Cheboygan, Michigan. His date of death is unknown.
