Margaret was the mother of seven living children born in Seneca, Missouri:
George Franklin 1885, Thomas Grant 1887
Clarence Clifton 1889, Burl Huber 1891
Robert Edgar 1893, Grace Ellen 1997 and
Mayanne 1905
According to Mayanne, the youngest:
"I remember my mother, Margaret Ellen Deweese, or "Ella" as her family of brothers and sisters called her. I think of her now as a remarkable person. She was intellectual and artistic, and all her life she was studying and trying to improve herself. I remember her as being very gentle and understanding and forgiving, never speaking of anyone critically. She was not only an excellent painter in oils, but creative in many ways, being ingenious and inventive and an exquisite seamstress. Whatever I may have accomplished in art, music and writing I owe to her encouragement and belief in me. She was a person of deep religious faith, which she lived in a very real way every day of her life. She was a Baptist, and also a member of the Eastern Star. Although life was not easy for her she was always thankful for even the smallest things in life. She believed in the innate goodness of people. My mother was truly a lovely lady."
