Wealthiest Man Magee Dies A Long Beach Pauper
Jack Magee once ran for public office seven times in Long Beach and lived day to day without steady work. A longtime amusement zone figure, he enjoyed city hall access and race track passes but left little money. He died at Harbor General Hospital after a brief illness, buried in a pauper’s grave despite burial insurance, which a friend later ensured was used to secure his funeral.
