Notes for Margaret 'Maggie' Jean Blankenship
Maggie's parents were William Blankenship and Melcena Baldridge. Maggie died sometime between 1942-44 in Missouri. She is probably not buried in the Francis Howell Cemetery although her name and birthdate is listed on the double tombstone of Perry Bittic - there is no date of death. It is believed she died during the time the Federal Government had the area closed due to a TNT plant. Mebla Fisher recalls her father taking about Maggie being buried "on the Old Ridge Road". Melba is still trying to confirm this information. [Melba Fisher, email 18 Mar 2004]
