Margaret's obituary appeared in THE MARENGO REPUBLICAN, Marengo, Iowa County, Iowa on August 29, 1894. It is always gratifying to locate and acquire an obituary for an ancestor, but dates and locations in Margaret's raise questions about her actual year of birth (1829 in her obituary, 1831 on her gravestone, various other years in other sources) and even her date of death (August 24 in her obituary, August 23 in a church record).")
Obituary Margaret McREYNOLDS
Obituary: Margaret's obituary appeared in THE MARENGO REPUBLICAN, Marengo, Iowa County, Iowa on August 29, 1894. It is always gratifying to locate and acquire an obituary for an ancestor, but dates and locations in Margaret's raise questions about her actual year of birth (1829 in her obituary, 1831 on her gravestone, various other years in other sources) and even her date of death (August 24 in her obituary, August 23 in a church record). "Uniontown, Virginia" is her place of birth in her obituary, but "Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia" in others' McReynolds research. Those areas are in different Virginia locales. To date, no documentation has been found to verify either location. |
