I found this newspaper clipping of her Obit put between the pages of a book she authored "Verses And Rhymes by the Way." She wrote four small books under the name Nora Pembroke. Perhaps one of you out there is a relative. Hope this might help.
" DEATH OF MRS. MACDOUGAL
Mrs. Margaret Moran Dixon MacDougal, the foster mother of Mrs. W. C. Gibson, wife of Dr. W. C. Gibson, died suddenly Sunday evening in this city. Mrs. MacDougal, who was apprently in perfect health, went to Church at the Second Presbyterian Church. When the services were well begun she complained to a friend who was with her of a feeling of illness, and was conducted from the church to the house of an acquaintance across the street, where she was made confortable. Dr. Gibson was immediately called and reached the bedside just before death came.
Mrs. MacDougal was born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1828, and came to Ottawa, Canada, when about 30 years old, where she engaged in literary work and teaching for some time, and then moved to Michigan, where she made her home for a quarter of a century. About six years ago she came to Montesano, in this state, and has lived there since.
Mrs. MacDougal devoted her life to the service of God, and taught by example as well as by precept. She lectured through the southern states shortly after the rebellion in the interest of the education of the freed-man, and, without giving offense to any one of the former slave owners, in addition to much mission work, Mrs. MacDougal found time to write a number of books, among them: " Life in Glenshie", "Days of a Life", "A Tour Through Ireland", "Verses and Rhymes by the Way."
Four children, three sons and one daughter, survive her. Rev. George MacDougal of Vernon Center, Minn.; W.H. MacDougal of White River, Ont.; and John MacDougal and Mrs. John G. Guppy of Mattawa, Canada.
At the time of her death Mrs. MacDougal was visiting Dr. and Mrs. Gibson in this city. "
