She was 53 yrs 10 mos 24 dys of age. Burial in the Masonic IOOF Cemetery, Montezuma, Iowa. Margaret Belle Henry was the daughter of James W and Elizabeth Jane Leslie Henry. She was born in Scott Township on the family farm. In early life she became a member of the Fairview United Presbyterian Church. She was married to Ralph Erwin McFerren on October 2, 1907 at the home of her parents. They farmed north of Montezuma where she has since resided. They were the parents of three children: Ernest, Edgar and Lenore. The entire community was shocked Tuesday morning when it was learned that Margaret McFerren a prominent farm wife living north of Montezuma had committed suicide some time Monday night. No reason is given for the deed. She had been shopping in Montezuma that afternoon and returned home around six o'clock to all appearances well and happy and in the best of health. After listening to the news at 10 p.m. she went to the basement and placed the muzzle of a 20 gauge shotgun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. Mr McFerren had been dozing and when he awakened he started to look for his wife. He went to the basement door saw the light was burning and tuned it off. He went around the house and finally out of doors. Returning to the house he turned on the basement light and went down the stairs where he found the body of his wife. He had not heard the muffled gun explosion.
