Pretty Margaret Liggett sits a glad-faced matron, no longer lonely, surrounded by her boys and girls today, but at the pretty Touchwood home there hangs on the wall a well-worn rifle - the one that brought down many a game bird and field beast in the early days at Humboldt.Maggie was a proficient telegraph operator and was appointed assistant operator shortly after coming to Kutawa, where she moved with her husband, Alfred von Lindeburgh. Margaret passed away in 1912 from cancer.
