The following is information that was supplied by Margaret for the 50th reunion held in 1985:

"After graduation from O.H.S., I married Bob Fields in 1936. I worked for Glen Nelson, Metropolitan Life Insurance Agent, for several years. After that, I worked for Dr. I.E. Steward, dentist. Bob worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad as a locomotive engineer, and except for a few short stays in Coffeyville, KS, have lived in Osawatomie all the time. Bob died in 1970, and I went to work for Coker's Store, retiring when the store sold in 1981. I have one son, Bob, who lived in Long Beach, CA. I look forward to my visits to California, Minnesota, and Nebraska, which aren't planned, but just happen. Bob and I had lots of trips, the most memorable was one to Hawaii. I do miss the traveling."
