Margaret McCord Foster died June 1849. There was a cholera epedemic in Adams County during the summer of 1849. It's possible that Margaret, as well as her youngest son, who who also died June of 1849, were both victims of the epedemic. Margaret McCord Foster is buried in the original section of the Cherry Fork Cemetery in Adams County, Ohio. (Bio by Darlene Hightower posted on FindAGrave)[1]
