From the July 17, 2007 Green Bay Press-Gazette:
Louise A. (Mrs. Ronald) Magee, 68, Oconto Falls, died suddenly Sunday
morning, July 15, 2007, at Community Memorial Hospital. She was born
Feb. 4, 1939, in Milwaukee, to Harley and Ruth (Wandrey) James. At the

purchased a gas station and auto repair business and moved with their
young family to Oconto Falls. In 1970, Louise went to work as a
bookkeeper for CESA 8 in Gillett until retiring in 2005. She will be
