Abstract from the Brown County World. 23 Feb 1894. p4
Margaret S. Middleton died of dropsy, February 14th, 2 p.m. in her 80th year, at her home two miles south of Hiawatha. She was born in Ross county, Ohio in June 1814, and was left a widow about the year 1840 [more likely 1850], with a family of four small children, 3 daughters and one son, to support. Her son Lawrence B Middleton enlisted in Co H, 89 Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served his country two years and eight months, when he took sick from exposure and died in the hospital. Her daughters all moved to Kansas at the close of the war. She soon followed and made her home with her daughter Frances, wife of W.S. Brown, from 1869 until her death. She had been an invalid for many years and "through all her suffering and trials she seemed cheerful and contented, exercising much self-denial for others. Early in life she joined the Presbyterian church of South Salem, Ohio, and when she first came to Kansas she joined the First Presbyterian church of Hiawatha, in which she lived a consistant, believing Christian life and was willing and ready to go at the Master's call, her last words being, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want."
