Margaret Worden came to Klamath Falls with her parents when she was a little girl. She attended the old Central public school which is the site of the Oregon bank building now. From there she went to the old high school on the Fifth Street hill. After graduation, she left for Topeka, Kansas where she entered Washburn college to major in music.
On returning from Topeka, Margaret taught piano in Klamath Falls for about a year. She then went back to Topeka where she was secretary of the dean of music and studied piano and pipe organ. Then back she came to Klamath Falls, this time to spend two years as music supervisor in the public schools. After this, she decided to go into business with a friend, opening a hat shop. Soon after her friend became ill and she had to run the shop by herself, closing it after it failed.
In the meantime, she had married Osmond Hauge on February 11, 1927, in Klamath Falls. For a year to two years, she remained a housewife and then came the chance for a job on The Herald and News in Klamath Falls. That was in 1929 when she applied for the news job and was given a double assignment--collecting bills and picking up news. She was to spend half of the time on each. At the end of the week she had turned in a lot of news, but not a dime from the Herald-News debtors. She was taken out of the bill collecting department and gathered the news from then on.
Peg had the city hall-federal building beat. She worked there for about seven years in the news department where she found out most of the things there are to know about the city. Peg also did the society news which she did not relish, but it fell to her quite often as she was the only woman on the news staff. She commuted to work in her Model A car from her home on Lakeshore Dive. Her hobby was dogs and was often accompanied by her Scotty, Jock.
In April of 1937 she and Osmond divorced. On December 23rd of that year she married Delbert Addison, also a member of The Herald news staff. They were the parents of one daughter, Mary Margaret.
