OBITUARY

Margaret Fritsen Carroll, daughter of John and Elsie Fritsen, was born December 11, 1886 at Kellogg, Iowa, and passed away April 25, 1951, after a lingering illness, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ella Andrew, at Earlham.

She moved with her parents to Earlham in 1892, which was her home until after her marriage when she with her husband moved to Olathe, Kansas. She was educated in the Earlham schools, graduating from the old Earlham Academy in 1905.

In her girlhood she united with the Presbyterian church and remained faithful to it during her life time. At the time of her death she was a member of the Olathian church. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star; at one time being Grand Worthy Matron.

She was united in marriage with Ernie Carroll, who passed away in 1945. Maggie, as she was familiarly called, was of a kind and generous disposition, a loving daughter, sister and wife.

She leaves to mourn her passing four sisters: Dora Madsen of Chelalis, Washington; Mary Smith of Des Moines; Ella Andrew of Earlham; and Kathren Cord of Fort Worth, Texas; and one brother, James of Earlham, besides several nieces and nephews. One brother, Fred, preceded her in death.
