Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, June 7, 1906
Miss Margaret Ratcliff.
  Miss Margaret Ratcliff was born in Canton Bend in 1833 and has since 
resided in the same home. While not a member of the church she was to 
all intents and purposes a true and conscientious christian, always 
charitable in thought and deed, ready at all times to render every aid 
and comfort to the sick and afflicted. Gniless as a child, she thought 
no harm of any one, nor did ever a word escape her that could be 
construed as a reflection on any one. For years she suffered the 
horrors of ill health, but through it all she was patient, kind and 
considerate of the comforts of others, often suffering rather than put 
her friends or family to inconvenience.
  If in the great beyond, before that great tribunal, the purity of 
character in human life is considered from the view point of the human 
estimate of excellence, by recalling her virtues and kindly acts 
throughout a long and useful life, we doubt not, that she will receive 
the joyous welcome that awaits those who have lived their religion and 
communed with Nature's God. Well done, enter thou. Her death occurred 
on June the sixth, 1906, and her remains laid to rest in the family 
burying ground in Canton.
