Daughter of John J Doyle & Agnes Chester

Her brother Thomas Doyle used to tell how his little sister, had died after being struck in the head by a wooden seat on a hanging swing seat. After researching Margaret's information I found she died of what was called acute endocarditis complicated by hypertrophied tonsils and acute gastritis. The poor little girl was very, very ill and no swing was the cause of her death. Perhaps Tom's parents, John and Agnes, having just lost a child so young, didn't want to deal with talking out the cause of her death with her older brother. On her death certificate, it says she was under medical care for 2 years, and the complications killed her within three days.
