Margareta Marx
b. June 22, 1852 in Menninger am Rhine, Prussia
d. December 18, 1943 in Gary, IN
Note that obituary gives her first husband's name incorrectly as her father's given name. I believe the name Thatcher to be a typo as neither of those daughters were ever married.

According to Susan Ingerman (December 3, 2001), following trip to Michigan City, IN and New Buffalo, MI: “Others I found at Greenwood Cemetery (Calgary IV)
There was a large stone that said Wagner on one side and Michaely on the other
In front of it from left to right were...
Peter M. Margaret M. Herbert W.
1844-1922 1852-1943 1847-1872”

The following information is included to ensure that it is not lost and needs additional research to determine what, if any, relationship they might have to our ancestors.
Social Security Death Index states that Joseph W. Michaely was born March 21, 1929 and died August 04, 1997.

There are no living descendants of daughters Margaret nor Genevieve, which makes it all the more important that we cousins keep them alive in our memories and prayers.
