"Saturday evening, Dr. D. P. Abbott and Mrs. J. N. Clawson were surprised to receive a telegram from Irving, Kansas, that their sister, Mrs. Harvey, was seriously ill. A few moments later they were shocked by receiving another bearing the intelligence of her death. Her death was sudden, being either heart disease or apoplexy. She was on a visit to her son, R. A. Harvey, Irving, Kansas, having left her home here on the 8th, and was stricken about 4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, and an hour later was dead.
Her remains were brought to this city and interred in the city cemetery, the funeral taking place from the Christian Church, of which she had been a member for forty-two years, attended by a large number of mourning relatives and friends, the services being conducted by Elder Waugh.
Miss Margaret A. Abbott was born in Lawrence county, Indiana, on the 28th of February, 1829, coming to Missouri with her parents in 1842. In 1848 she was married to J. G. Caples, two children being the fruit of that union, and was widowed in 1854. She became the wife of Dr. George M. Brown in 1858, who lived but two years, and no living issue is left. In 1863 she was married to Mr. R. J. Harvey, and David and Richard A. Harvey are their two surviving sons. Mr. Harvey died in 1885, since which time Mrs. Harvey had been living with her son, David, on the old home place, adjoining Savannah. The deceased had a large number of friends who deplore her most sudden ending of a long, consistent and useful life." Savannah Reporter (Savannah, Missouri), June 17, 1892
"Mrs. R. J. Harvey of Savannah died suddenly at the home of her son, R. A. Harvey, where she was visiting, June 11. She was 63 years old, a sister of Dr. D. P. Abbott and Mrs. J. N. Clawson of Savannah. The funeral services were held in the Christian Church in Savannah by Elder Waugh and interment was in the Savannah cemetery."
