A mystery from the California Death Record: searching for anyone with their mother's maiden name George, and father's last name Wood, Ollie Elizabeth Hutchison appeared with Margery's listings. Ollie was born 2 September, 1898 in Missouri, and died in Napa, CA on 7 April 1992 (SSN 522-24-5160). Despite the similar name, she is not Ollie Belle Wood Boatwright George, 1867-1901.

Margery was also listed in the California Death Records, dying 3 April, 1988 in San Diego when she was 82. There is also a listing for "Alice Margery Schossow", (mother: George, father: Wood) born 24 April 1905 ND, died 3 April 1988. SSN 555-56-3361

Other Schossow's listed in the death records in CA (and born in ND) were
