In 1882, Margaret's obituary was published in The Commonwealth:

DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT. Mrs. S.Y. Garrison Called Away Thursday Night. Mrs. Margaret B. Garrison, wife of S.Y. Garrison, of Auburn township, died at 12 o'clock Thursday night, at her residence southwest of the city. The funeral services were held yesterday, and were conducted by Rev. Biggs. Mrs. Garrison was born in Park county, Kentucky, in 1803, and was consequently 79 years of age. She removed to Shawnee county with her husband in 1858, from Michigan, and resided here continually since that time. She had been married to Mr. Garrison for 53 years. Mrs. Garrison had been sick for some time and her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Allen, of Wichita, was with her until Thursday afternoon, when, her mother's condition seeming to be decidedly improved, she returned home, not dreaming that death would call her parent so soon. Mrs. Garrison was highly esteemed by the many friends she had made during her long residence in this county and the tidings of her death will be received with sadness. ^[2]
