Charlie owned some property right down town of Hayden, but sold out before the railroad came through in 1916 or so. There is a creek called Magden still where he had his farm,as I had a nice chat with a local who's family remembered Charlie. I guess there was a fight over water and there was a guy who got shot for cutting off the water through his property not far from the Magden farm. Thanks for checking through the newspapers though, really appreciate it. Are you related some where? Discovered almost all the Magden's in the states come from Denis Magden, from Ulster, Ireland and his two sons. My family goes back to Robert, but William had several wives (interesting is Robert was protestant and William was catholic!!), and about 13 kids. Robert and his wife, Rachel died relatively young from consumption in Michigan, leaving their younger kids living with the older ones. Their oldest son Henry, was Charlie's dad, so I know a lot more now. If you need any info on the Magden family, let me know. There are some Magden's in Ohio, but they changed their name to Magden from a much longer name when they came over from Poland, not realizing that there were Magden's already in the states.
