Margaret married my Granduncle Dr. Benjamin R. McKinnon on 4 Sep 1929. They had three children, Richard D. McKinnon, Jane McKinnon, and John Gordon McKinnon.
Margaret was very sociable, and very well liked in her community. She attended many social events, sometimes with her Dentist husband, but often by herself.
I just found this story (with an accompanying picture), which tells of Margaret Baker McKinnon's love of the gospel, and the love she had for the Sunday School publication, The Juvenile Instructor, even when only 7-years old. It's in the form of a play, written by: Ardis E. Parshall - November 10, 2009, called:
