She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Oscar WEGMULLER of Atkinson, Ill.; two granddaughters, Blanche RAMSEY of Fairfield and Betty WEGMULLER of Atkinson, Ill.; one foster brother, W. E.

Note: The Fairfield Abbey was an above-ground mausoleum within Evergreen Cemetery, and was in use between 1915 and 1968. Structural problems eventually caused it to partially collapse and those interred there were moved to other accomodations; the remainder of the building was razed. Margaret and husband William were both initially interred in the Abbey, and were moved to Lot 2nd.256½ in Evergreen Cemetery.
