Brooklyn Chronicle (Brooklyn, Iowa) Aug. 14, 1903

Margaret Davidson Hall was born on the 22d of March, 1851, in Iowa county, her father being the late departed Thomas Davidson. On the 20th of December, 1882, she was united in marriage to Andrew Hall. She was admitted into the communicast membership of the Moravian church by confirmation on the 24th of February, 1895, of which church she remained a faithful member until death. Nearly a year ago she was taken sick with a cancer, and has been confined to her bed since the latter part of April. She was called to her eternal home shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning, August 11th, in this year of our Lord 1903. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn her loss.

"It is not death to die.
To leave this weary road;
And 'mid the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God."

Funeral was held at M.E. church in Brooklyn Wednesday of this week. Rev. Huebener, pastor of Harmony Moravian church had charge of the services and preached the funeral sermon.
