“Three Score and Forty!
Mrs. Margaret Derickson Becomes 100 Thursday; Alert And Active, 'Aunt Mag' Belies Her Age"
By HILDA FONTAINE
Journal-News Staff Writer
"President Abraham Lincoln, Morgan’s Raid, and the Civil War are vivid memories to Mrs. Margaret Derickson, 3191 Old Oxford Rd., who will reach the century mark on Thursday, December 3.
‘Aunt Mag,’ as she is lovingly known, not only to her nieces and nephews, but to neighbors and community as well, is a charming, little lady, whose keen, twinkling brown eyes; soft, snowy hair and unusually smooth skin belie her many years, and a stranger would probably place her age as about eighty. Blessed with excellent health - ‘the doctor can’t find a single thing wrong with me,’ she assured your reporter, she is singularly alert and active, and performs most of the household chores in the home where she resides with her sister, Mrs. H. L. Derickson.
The daughter of Charlotte Farrell and Stephen Barr, Mrs. Derickson was born on December 3, 1853 in east Cincinnati. She was educated in the old Fulton St. School. She was married to David Derickson on Christmas Day, December 25, 1890 in Farmer City, Illinois and five years later came to Ohio, where she resided a number of years in the vicinity of Franklin and Carlisle.
In County 40 Years
Her husband died in October 1905, and then Mrs. Derickson learned the dressmaking trade and for twelve years, she was employed in the alteration department of several Dayton stores. She has resided in Butler County for about forty years. Having no children of her own, Mrs. Derickson has lavished affection on her sister’s children and their children and those of her friends…”

Mercy Hospital attendants held slight hope for the recovery of Mrs. Emma Derickson, 30, Rural Route 10, Millville, who received severe burns over her entire body Thursday evening when a coal oil stove exploded at her home.
She was preparing the evening meal and while lighting the stove with a torch the explosion occurred.
