      Aged: 56 years old

      (My comments follow below)
      Although he is recorded as single, in the census taken at the Protestant Hospital for the Insane in 1911, he is recorded as being, or having been, married. The age at death, 56 years old, confirms the 1860 birth date. Between his name and age (which was wrong in the census), I am satisfied that this is the correct Rufus Magoon.-LM
