The 2 Margarethas
Martin was buried in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, where his wife, or perhaps wives, named Margarthea were also buried. Two tombstones besides Martin bear the inscription "wife of Martin Pfaffenberger" - both with the first name Margarthea. No other Martin Pfaffenberger seems to be buried in the cemetery so it seems highly likely that these were both his wife.
The first Margaretha was born in 1846 (4 years younger than Martin) and died in 1887.
The second Margaretha was born in 1850 (7 years Martin's junior) and died in 1908.
