McCASLIN, Margaret (Mullen)

DEATH OF MARGARET McCASLIN.

Mrs. Margaret McCaslin died at 3:00 o’clock Tuesday afternoon at her home, corner of North Main and Madison streets, aged 82 years. She was one of the best known women of the com­munity but for several years her health had been such as to keep her at her home almost continuously. This had been intensified by three accidents from falls which Mrs. McCaslin had sus­tained within the past few years, causing her to be confined to her bed for long periods.

Funeral services were held Wed­nesday afternoon at four o’clock from the late home, conducted by Rev. R. P. Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian church, where Mrs. McCaslin had long held membership, assisted by Rev. J. B. Ferguson of Hopewell. The body was taken to Minneapolis, Minn. for inter­ment.

Margaret Mullen McCaslin was born near Carlisle, Pa., May 7, 1838. When a young girl she moved with her parents to Minneapolis, Minn., where she made her home for many years. She was married December 25, 1878, to William McCaslin of Franklin, at Thomas­ville, Ga., where she was spending the winter. They returned to Franklin and went to housekeeping in the McCaslin home on North Main street. Mr. McCaslin who was one of the most successful and widely known farmers and business men of the county, died June 5, 1884. After his death Mrs., McCaslin continued to live in her North Main street home.

During the last years of her life Mrs. McCaslin had been taken care of by her niece, Miss Marguerite McCullough.
