She attended the district school in the township of her birth and became very proficient in the The Three R's becoming one of the champion spellers of her days. At the age of 16y 7m 24d she went to the marriage alter with John Starnes on February 9, 1865. They plighted together their lives in a solemn vow to share life's duties together which vow they kept inviolate for 58y 6m 19d. Just at the dawn of another dat on the morning of August 28, 1923 her companion slipped silently and gently into the land of the Great Beyond from whence no traveler returns. Margaret remained in the old home with her daughters until the end came, January 26, 1929, when she quietly passed away. To this union, eight children were born, two sons, Alva V and Henry Lawrence and one daughter were taken from them in infancy while Iva D and Alexander C in more recent years have preceeded their mother to the great beyond where they have waited her coming. In the year 1870, she professed faith in Jesus Christ as her savior and with her husband united with the United Brethern Church at Buffolo near her home. She was a good woman and her life has been an inspiration to her children and grandchildren for upright living which is the most valuable inheritance they can receive. Margaret as she was known to her friends, was a good neighbor, always ready to do more that her part. She was a devoted wife and mother. Home will never be again as it always has been. Her steps are gone and her voice is silent but God saw best to call her to her final home. At the last resting place of their loved departed mother sorrowing children and grandchildren have erected a monument of imperishable granite. Margaret Starnes's reak and far more enduring monument was builded by herself and is the imperishable record of an honest and consistent christian life. She leaves to cherish her memory, one son, F C Starnes of Wallace; two daughters, Amy Maud and Elma Elta Starnes at home; four grandchildren, Mrs Effie Waddell of Decatur, IL, Oren Eston Starnes of Hammond, Lena May McDaniel and Gloria Marie Gray of Colorado. She leaves nine great grandchildren; one sister, Almira V Thomas and many other relatives and friends to mourn her departure but we are resigned because she is released from her suffering. Funeral services conducted by Rev Johns, held at Freedom Church at 10a January 29, 1929. Interment Zackmire Cemetery."
