Rome Daily Sentinel, 7 Sept 1911: Camden, Sept. 7-- The funeral of Cornelius Magee was held at his late home in Hillsboro at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and burial was made in the family plot at Amboy. Mr. Magee was the last one of a large and well known family at Hillsboro, his brother John having died last winter.

Utica Herald-Dispatch, 2 Oct 1911: PRESENTED WILL / Mrs. Helen McGee Surprises Other Relatives of Her Husband / Camden, Oct 2-- ... The sudden bringing forth of a will executed 34 years ago by Cornelius McGee of Camden, who died on September 15 last, has stirred up trouble among relatives of the dead man and started a legal tangle that may require months to unravel. The will was produced by Mrs. Helen McGee of Amboy, widow, after letters of administration had been asked by Lewis McGee, a nephew, who apparently had not the slightest idea his uncle ever made a will in the entire 90 years that he lived. When Mrs. McGee filed her husband's will for probate in Utica yesterday Lewis McGee and eight other nephews and nieces who had expected to divide an estate of approximately $12,000 were thunderstruck. When they learned in addition that the will was executed by Cornelius McGee in 1877, and that the old man even outlived the witnesses to the document and then forgot to draw another, the surviving relatives were so bewildered that a a consultation of legal minds was summoned in a hurry... In the will, which was dated October 15, 1877, McGee left everything to his wife, Helen. Then in 1883 trouble of some kind arose as the result of which McGee and his wife separated. Mrs. McGee apprently being shrewd enough, however, to depart with the will in her possession.
