Margaret was in an accident in early August, 1882 and she died at the end of the month.
Terrible Runaway Accident. On Friday night last during the thunder storm a terrible accident occurred to Mr. James Mooney, son of Hon. Robert Mooney, and his mother. While they were driving home from town a loud crash of thunder terrified the horse, and he dashed speedily along the road. In Mr. Mooney’s endeavors to stay his flight the bit broke, and as he galloped wildly the wagon partly upset and the occupants were
thrown heavily on the ground. Mrs. Mooney was severely cut in the head, face, body and limbs. Her son’s leg was broken, and his body was badly mangled. Dr. McKay was called in attendance. Both are now doing as well as can be expected. [7]
DIED, at Baldwin’s Road, on the 31st ult., after an illness of three of weeks, Margaret, wife of the Hon. Robert Mooney, in the eightieth year of her age. May she rest in peace.[8]
