Obituary of MARGARET DUNBAR

"A wife of noble character, who can find? She is worth far more then rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. (vs.24) She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. (vs. 31) Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." Proverbs 31. This describes the life of Margaret Dunbar. Margaret Talitha (McBride) Dunbar was born February 5, 1921 in Garden City, Oklahoma to William Edgar and Lenora Faye McBride.
