Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Sg.2ADI/1831.1.1.1.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi- I did a quick search of the microfilm for the "Lake County Independent Register" at Cook Memorial Library to see if I could find an obituary for Margaret Harrison Pangborn. I didn't find one (although that could be because the newspaper is quite confusing in how it publishes articles and obituaries). However, I did find an interesting article where she was mentioned. In the Friday, November 26, 1915 edition of the paper, the following was posted: MRS. HOBAN'S PASSING ON SAME DAY FRIEND IS BURIED Waukegan, Nov. 20 It was a striking coincident that Mrs. Joe Hoban, formerly "Dotsy" Dietmeyer, should die this morning at 1 o'clock, or a few hours previous to the funeral of one of her closest friends, Mrs. Pangburn, nee Margaret Harrison, whose death occurred Tuesday. These two young women, prior to the time Mrs. Hoban went to the county hospital suffering with tuberculosis, were bosom friends. Mrs. Hoban lived on Washington Street, Miss Harrison on Edison Court. They were constantly in each other's company and none was more concerned over Mrs. Hoban's conditition than was her neighbor and friend, Mrs. Pangburn. The article goes on - pretty much an obit about Mrs. Hoban. If you would like, I can send it to you. I was at the library right before it closed, so I didn't have time to look in the published cemetery inscriptions at the library. I can try and do that if you would like. Good luck!
