"Maggie prayed over the years to die when Joseph Aaron "Aaron" Pickering did. She didn't want to live without him. He died of kidney disease at the age of 65 on March 23, 1932, and true to her word, in answer to her prayer (as told by her attending daughters), though she was not sick, she simply lay down and died the next day, March 24, 1932 - describing heaven for them all the while. There was a double funeral at Red Hill Cemetery."
