One of the oldest remaining homes in Memphis is a tiny white slat-board house sandwiched between downtown office buildings. It's the Magevney house, which was home to Eugene Magevney. Here's what the marker in the yard has to say about Eugene: "Born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, 1878; immigrated to the United States, 1828; settled in Memphis, 19833. His home was the scene of three important religious occasions in Memphis: the first Catholic mass, 1839; the first Catholic marriage, 1940, first Catholic baptism, 1941. Magevney, pioneer, teacher and civic leader, dies in the yellow fever epidemic of 1875. In 1941, the family gave this site to the city." Currently, the house and grounds are set up as a museum, but at the moment, it's not open to the public.
