AGED WOMAN DEAD
Relative of Phoebe and Alice Cary to
Be Buried in Lafayette
Mr Margaret K Meek, a former resident of Lafayette, died last night at the home of her
daughter, Mrs E M Howard, in Logansport. Her death was quite sudden and was caused by
heart trouble. She was 81 years of age and represented the oldest of four generations.
She was born in Cincinnati and was a sister of William and James Carnahan, prominent Fort
Wayne and Lafayette wholesale shoe merchants, now dead. She was also related to Phoebe
and Alice Cary, the writers. She married twice and when she lived in this city was known
as Mrs Margaret Goffhorn. The body will arrive here Saturday at noon and will be taken
direct to Greenbush cemetery.
