Margaret was born on 18 January 1826 in Fulda Kur-Hessen, Germany. She was the daughter of John Walter.[1]
When Margaret was 23 she married Henry Albinger (1823-1899) on 29 May 1849 in Wheeling, West Virginia.[2]
Margaret died at the age of 86 on 30 December 1912 in West Bend, Washington County, Wisconsin.[3][1]
Margaret was buried on 2 January 1913 in Holy Angels Cemetery, West Bend, Washington County, Wisconsin.[4]
Margaret came to America on May 22, 1847.
She moved to a farm in Trenton, Wisconsin, on September 29 of an unknown year.
According to her obituary, "Another of the sturdy pioneer women of this part of the county has gone to her reward. Mrs. Henry Albinger, who was a resident of the town of Trenton from 1849 until 1896 made her home in this city, died... having been ill about a year with cancer of the stomach.... In 1939 she came to America and settled at Wheeling, W. Va.... she married Henry Albinger, and the couple settled on a farm in Trenton. There they resided until sixteen years ago, when they came to West Bend to spend their remaining days in quietude and at leisure. However, death came to Mr. Albinger in 1900, and since then the aged widow lived with her daughter, Miss Mary Albinger.... Thus another name is stricken from the ever-lessening roll of our old settlers. As the death dew gathered on her marble brow, around her bedside gathered her girls and boys -- always girls and boys to her, 'though now grown to mature years with boys and girls around their own firesides. The life so long interwoven with theirs, with tearful eyes they watched as it slowly but surely passed over. The love of a mother for her children passeth human understanding. The boys and girls that gathered about the cot of this dying mother and so bravely fought the Death Angel, long ago passed out from the little home circle. Business cares and their own home circles have encroached upon their time, may have robbed mother of their companionship, but she was ever just the same -- rejoicing in their successes and grieving at their misfortunes. We know that years hence the memory of her unselfish devotion will make them good men and good women and her precepts be their guiding star. The children have lost their truest friend, may they ever revere their memory. (West Bend Pilot 1/1/1913)
