The Widow Maggie

from Hawthorne — A Family Saga

## The Widow Maggie Told in the voice of Mary Maggie Lee Winbury ("Maggie"), Rod's grandmother. The winter of 1936: her first husband Clayton Powell Miller (1903-1936) dies of a ruptured appendix, leaving her a widow with four children in the Depression — and the quiet farmer, William Edward "Pete" Hawthorne, who married the widow and her four and made one family of them. From the Hawthorne family's own record.
