Shortly after her Lawrence Co. marriage to John C. Dement, September 2, 1866***(See Margaret A. Dillon.jpg), Margaret and John moved to Worth Co., MO, presumably as a result of the influence of her brother, Isaac. But her life as a farmer's wife in MO was relatively brief as she died in 1879. Her remains were buried in the well maintained Wesley Chapel Cemetery, just across the county line in Harrison County. It was the cemetery of the church in which she held her membership. The children of John and Margaret all born in Worth Co., were: Stanton Sedgewick DEMENT, b.December 29, 1867; Edgar Hamilton DEMENT, b.March 30, 1869; Roswell Lawrence DEMENT, b.August 30, 1871; Ulysses S. Grant DEMENT, b.June 1, 1872; Willie DEMENT, b.1876; and Ann Elizabeth DEMENT, b.January 16, 1878.
According to Sherm Dillon, Not long after her death, her husband sold his farm and moved first to eastern Oregon, then a few years later on to Portland. He was accompanied by two of his sons, Edward and Grant, and also the children by his second wife, Mary Ann Dye Curtis of Worth Co., MO. John C. Dement died in 1927, in Portland, OR. Descendants of this family still reside in several Oregon locations.
