MRS. MARGARET H. CARROLL
Cambridge, Md., March 4 - Mrs. Margaret Handy Carroll, widow of Dr. Thomas King Carroll, died this morning at her home, Walnut Landing, near this place. She had been an invalid for years, but death was caused by grip, with which she had been ill three weeks.
Born in Snow Hill, Somerset county, 74 years ago, Mrs. Carroll was the daughter of Charles Cecilius Carroll, of historic Kingston Hall, Somerset county. Her father went to St. Louis, where he attained prominence as a member of the bar. She lived in the West until her marriage in 1852 to her kinsman, Dr. Carroll, a son of Governor Thomas King Carroll. Some years ago the residents of the county erected a monument to perpetuate Dr. Carroll's devoted services during the smallpox epidemic. The contributors to the monument fund included all classes and both white and colored.
Mrs. Carroll was a woman of rare intellectual attainments. She took an active interest in affairs of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and it was through her efforts that old Trinity Church, at Church Creek, this county, was restored in 1901 and services resumed.
Mrs. Carroll is survived by three sons and three daughters. They are Mr. Chas. C. Carroll, Dr. Victor C. Carroll, Mr. Vivian Carroll and Misses Marget (Margaret) Handy, Julia Stevenson and Nellie Calvert Carroll. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Benjamin Taber of Keokuk, Iowa, and two brothers, Capt. E. C. Carroll, of Vicksburg, Miss., and Mrs. Charles C. Carroll, of Springfield, Ill.
