Note: Her age is given as 62 years, 8 months, 23 days, with a birth year of 1825. This would calculate to an 1888 death, not 1887. Likely she was 61 years, 8 months, 23 days, as the ages in the censuses are consistent with an 1825 birth year. Margaret has no gravestone, and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Lot Old.P.321. Husband Adam is in the adjoining Old Fairfield City cemetery, in the west half of Lot 8, with his first wife Harriett M. Stewart; Margaret was his second wife.
