GS2987 First Church (Presbyterian) Galt (This page as it appears on the microfilm reel is faded, but seems to agree with the Gore District's marriage registration information.) Nbr. 293 By license in Beverly on Feb. 22, 1849, Beverly Township Augustus Buchanan, Dumfries Margaret Harvie, Beverly Witnesses John Harvie and John Buchanan The marriage was almost certainly held at the residence of the bride's parents.

| Burial | She was buried on 29 July 1900 at Fairplains Cemetery, Grand Rapids. |
| Note | Alex Harvie and his wife Catharine Campbell attended First Church in Galt. Margaret's sister Catharine was baptized within weeks of her birth in 1834, but Margaret was born in 1832 and the First Church list of baptisms does not begin until 1833. Probably, Margaret was baptized in First Church, but it seems unlikely that a surviving record will be found unless there is a paper among family effects. Death reg.
