The paper says that she is buried at Cleora cemetery. There are no actual records for Cleora cemetery & she could very well be there, as her son who was murdered 8 months before she died, was interred there next to his father. (See description in his memorial for information). She is listed in Fairview Cemetery records, but there is no Section or plot listed for her.
=============================
In 1850 Margaret was 14 & living in Independence, NJ. She was living with a family with the last name of Hankison.
