Her hospitality was proverbial. It extended from her family and friends to the traveling stranger. During her many years of missionary service to the Indians, she fed them and taught them the white mans ways. She brought the women into her home and taught them to cook and sew. Because of her unusual memory and her interest in collecting pictures and stories of the Bluff pioneers, she was one of the first to be contacted by professional and amateur hsitorical writers. Margaret Nielsons long years of loving service to her family, her friends, her church and her community stands as a monument to her memory.
