She remained on the family farm, and never married. Her obituary was in the Liberty Tribune, Friday, Jan. 24, 1873, page 2, column 2: "On Wednesday morning last, Miss Margaret Simms died at her residence in this county at the advanced age of about 80 years. She was a native of Virginia, but had been a citizen of Clay County for over 40 years. She was strictly an old-time lady, and delighted in rehearsing the early incidents of this country. She was possessed of far more than ordinary intelligence, and a devout member of the Old Baptist Church. She died regretted by all who enjoyed her acquaintance."
