Margaret Arnott (Oviatt) Small-Ashton

This is my beautiful great-grandmother's page.



The journalling reads:

Margaret Arnott Oviatt

Margaret was born April 13, 1883 in the Town of Jackson, the daughter of Thomas and Isabelle (Arnott) Oviatt. She was the youngest of six children. Her parents both died when she was young, so she was moved from relative to relative when growing up.

She graduated from Cambridge Union School and Oneonta Teachers' College. She taught a fifth grade class at Greenwich and Cambridge Schools.

Margaret was married to Alfred Maxwell Small on November 10, 1908 in Cambridge, New York. Together they had two sons. After Alfred’s death, she married Andrew Ashton on April 26, 1937 in Cambridge.

She was a member of the Cambridge United Presbyterian Church for 76 years and was a member of the Ondawa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for more the 50 years, including being a regent of the chapter.

She passed away June 6, 1977 at Cambridge and was buried in the Small family plot in Evergreen Cemetery, Salem, New York.
