Margaret's death certificate says she died of a broken artery.  Under that, it's written, "she was run over by a cow".  Sources state that the following information was given by French Hardesty: "She was milking cows in the barn on top of the hill.  The cow kicked her off the stool and broke her hip . . . . she never recovered."
