"Maggie" as she was called by family had only one eye. She lost the other as a child running through a corn field and a stalk of corn punctured it. An artificial eye apparently was not an option during her lifetime.

She lived for years with daughter Leona, who owned and managed the Pacific Hotel in Madison, KS. When Leona "Ona" died, Maggie's remaining children sent her to a private home which provided very small single rooms for elderly people. The home was located in Cincinnati, IA, where her daughter, Orell May, lived; however, Maggie never lived with Orell and her family.
