Margaret Lillian Hart (Drake)
1892-1979

Mrs. Margaret Hart Drake

Mrs. Margaret Hart Drake, 86, of 2901 Pahokee Trace, died yesterday. Funeral will be at 4 p.m. tomorrow at Pompano City Cemetery, Pompano beach, Fla.

She was born in Peoria, Ill. and formerly lived in Miami. survivors include a daughter, Mrs. Jean Vaughn, Birmingham; a son, Dr. Alan H. Drake, Ada Ohio; and a brother, Albert T. Hart, Pompano Beach, Fla.

Margaret had an earlier marriage which didn't work out and which was hushed up. "I finally learned that my mother who was quite a beautiful and virtuous young lady from a good family made the mistake of marrying what in turned out to be a real rounder. He took her to Kansas City on their "honeymoon" and left her there, high and dry. She managed to call home and get back to Peoria, but after that, she felt it necessary to leave, so she went to Chicago and got the job with IC. The funny thing is that we were close to "Uncle George and Aunt Mae" from Chicago. One or the other of them was a sibling of the loser that married my mom, but they kept up a friendship over the years. " (Alan Hart Drake 2004)

"My mother at the time [when Claude's first wife died} was doing PR work with Illinois Central and was sent down to Vincennes to see if she could aid them in any way. That is when she met my dad, and after a few years, they got married." (Alan Drake 2004)
