Margaret died young from a dental infection that resulted in general blood poisoning. Because of the awful days of the Great Depression, adequate medical care was not readily available; the family's transportation was limited to horse and wagon, and the nearest doctor was 18 miles distant.
In May 1935 Margaret's funeral was held at the local Baptist church, and she was buried in the Page Cemetery, which was near the family's home.
Margaret's grave was marked by a field stone near a tree and near a gate in the fence. Unfortunately, because of tree removal and changes in fencing, the location of her grave site can no longer be determined.
