Margaret Alice Fleischer was born November 14, 1860 near North Topeka, Kansas. On February 26, 1881 she married Frank Clair Colborn who was born December 31, 1854, in Buffalo, New York. Margaret met Frank Colborn at her brother Will Fleischer's farm. She was riding a horse and the saddle turned with her. She was trying to fix it when Frank came along and helped her. Frank always said that she did it on purpose.
They lived near Topeka for several years and their first two children were born there, George Washington Colborn and Sarah Dollie Colborn. Then in 1884 they moved to Barber County, southeast of Medicine Lodge. Here ten more children were born to the Colborns. When they went to Barber County, Papa Frank chartered a box car and brought his horses, wagon, lumber to build a house and barn, and household goods. The train only went to Harper, Kansas so he had to haul the lumber from there. Frank was there for six weeks when he sent for Margaret Alice.
When Margaret Alice came Frank had built the barn of 1 x 12 inch boards. Whenever it rained she had to move everything and dry things out. They lived in the barn until the house was built. The ten children born in Barber County were: Ethyl Mae, William Henry, Florence Alma, Lester Harry, Nellie Alice, Daisy Ruth Eleanor, Frank Fleischer, Ernest Harold, Arthur Harvey, and Marjorie Clara Colborn.
Margaret Alice Fleischer Colborn died March 3, 1945. She belonged to the Assembly of God Church. Frank Clair Colborn died April 1, 1933. He belonged to the Church of God.
