Margaret died at age 62 and is buried in the family cemetery behind the old home place of Charlie Brown on Raccoon Creek, Pike County Kentucky. She and John had twelve children.
The 1900 census says she was born July 1884, but she appears in the 1880 census with her parents and she would have been too young to marry in 1889.
