Fourth oldest. Margaret was a nurse at Cook County Hospital in Chicago where she received her RN. She was a nurse in the Army during World War I and went to China with the Army after World War I where she was head of nurses at the American Hospital in Shanghi. She went to China at the same time her sister Ella (Sister Mary James) went into the convent at 16, stating that this is why she went to China. She was taken prisoner of war by the Japanese and placed a prison camp in China during World War II for 7 years, being released in 1945. Upon her release from prison, she sailed home on a Swedish sailing vessel called the Gripsholm and was met in New York harbor by her 3 brothers and Sister Mary James and then settled in Denver, Colorado, where she worked at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital. She never married and it is thought that few if any family members saw here after her return to the United States. When she died in Denver in 1975 she left a small sum to her niece, Elizabeth Jane Early Andrews, who used the money to convert the front porch of the farm house in Lewisburg, Tennessee to a sun room.

CONVERSATION WITH ELIZABETH JANE EARLY ANDREWS 2/15/04:
A priest had told her that Aunt Margaret was the most religious person he had ever met.

12/23/06 Elizabeth Jane Early Andrews commented that Margaret threatened her sister Ella with going to China if Ella entered the convent. Ella joined the convent and Margaret went to China and ended up loving the Chinese people.

Margaret's niece, Elizabeth Jane Early never met her Aunt Margaret. When she was released from a Japenesse prison camp in China after World War II, Margaret went straight to Denver, Colorado to work at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital and left Betty Jane and her other nieces and nephews money when she died in the early 1970s. Betty used this money to enclose the farm's front porch.
