Margaret (Trainor)
King was born on Prince Edward Island in 1880. She married Melvin Myron King. They had three children: Hazel, Alice and
Gordon. Margaret died Oct 15, 1918 of BronchoPneumonia Grippe at age 38 after caring for all the
family during the epidemic of 1918. She had several sisters including Agatha
and Alice of Lowell. According to her
daughter, Hazel, family was protestant back in Ireland but left during the
Potato Famine (1846-48) and changed to Roman Catholic "since the priests
influenced who got the jobs in Lowell". |
