Martinez, June 22, 1910 Dear Sister Joanna, Margaret died today. This after noon at 2 o'clock All her children were with
her. David Sarah arrived 4 hours too late to see her in life. Her last three days were spent in a kind of sleep nigh to death
during which she was never for a moment conscious or gave any sign of pain. I'm so glad I was with her to cheer comfort her
as best I could while she yet knew me fondly clung to me- and glad we all are that she is now at rest in the better land free
from bodily weakness care. Affectionately your brother John
