Margaret was living with her brother Clarence at the time of the 1930 Census. She did say she was married. She was age 32 and had married at age 24. Charles Friddle had paid for the funeral of Margaret's twin sister Mary in 1929.

Marriage License to marry Fred Cradduck is a digital image on FamilySearch.org, dated 22 Dec 1937 Fred was age 53, Margaret Friddle, 43, both residents of Chester. T. L. Delzell signed the license as County Clerk. He was my maternal great-uncle, known to me as Uncle Lester, husband of my grandfather's sister, Edna Comstock. Fred and Margaret were married that same day by Earl B. Ward, County Judge.

1940 Census. Chester, Crawford, AR, Hh 36. Living next door to her nephew LeRoy Harrison and a few houses from her brothers Clarence and Fred.
Fred Cradduck was 56, b. AR - lived in Crawford Co in 1935. His occupation was pumper, Steam railroad Water Tender.
Margaret, wife, was 42.

Nov. 1961. "Maggie" Cradduck of Mountainburg was listed as surviving her brother, William.

I found Find A Grave Memorial # 56619404. She is buried Conley Cemetery, Mountainburg, Crawford Co, AR. Her stone simply has her name as Margaret Cradduck.

Fred Cradduck had also been married three times before. Another wife is listed as Frances Ellen (Ridenour) Gunn Cradduck - born 15 May 1875 in Daviess Co, MO and died 3 May 1962 in Gentry, Benton Co, AR. She is buried Oak Hill Cemetery in Siloam Springs, Benton Co, AR. Her death was some years after Fred had married Margaret - so Fred must have also been divorced when he and Margaret married.
Fred Cradduck, Memorial # 56619094, shows father as John Washinton Cradduck, b. 10 Nov 1852, d. 29 Dec 1910, and buried Chester Cemetery, Crawford Co, AR; mother as Penelope Josephine Phillips, born May 1858, died 5 Mar 1930, also buried Chester Cemetery.

Personal note:
My Adamson grandmother, Mary May (Harrison) Adamson died in 1929 when she was 34 - of pnuemonia and she was a twin. Actually, the second set of twins born in her family.
Her twin sister Margaret (who had arranged Mary May's funeral) lived until 1981 - right there in Mountainburg, on the highway down to Van Buren. I could have known her..... Margaret was living when Mom was notified about Ernie Adamson's death and didn't tell me until months after. Margaret was married twice, but never had any children. Of course, I don't know that Mother knew anything about Ernie's mother - I don't think she even knew she had died so young.
Just thought that a bit sad.
