In her widow's pension application on 3 Jan 1899, Margaret submits a
sheet of paper that she swears "is the only records in existance of their
marriage or the births of their children" since they did not keep a Bible
record. The sheet marked "Exhibit A" shows:

a row of practice N's and B's
     Labor for learning before you grow old
     For it is far better than silver or gold
     For silver and Gold will vanish away
     But the grounds of good learning will never decay.

     Carry me along at a furious rate
     To Concord Jackson county Michigan state
     These to remain as I desire

          Written by myself
     Change must come
     And friends must part
     But distance can never
     Change the heart.
