MARGARET JENKINS LILLY (Mrs Thomas Horace Arrell Browne) was born in Hanover, York Cᵒ Pennᵃ during the spring of 1891—her parents Henry Joseph Lilly & Mary Helen Jenkins having moved the family there from Lilly's Mill (the Lillys' ancestral home) in Mount Pleasant Township, Adams Cᵒ Pennᵃ in 1889. Though she was likely baptized "Mary Margaret Jenkins Lilly," Margaret was her name of preference. When she was only four months old, her maternal grandfather, Edward Francis Jenkins (1817–1891) died at his home "MONTROSE," near Baldwin Station on the Baltimore & Lehigh Railroad in rural Baltimore Cᵒ and the Lilly family moved south to Maryland to be with Edward's widow, Sarah Catherine Jenkins (1814–1900). Young Margaret spent her childhood surrounded by Jenkins cousins in the Long Green Valley, living at "MONTROSE," a grand 1850s Italianate structure—supposedly the first private home in Baltimore County to have indoor plumbing. On a Wednesday morning during the spring of 1897, this magnificent house narrowly escaped destruction by fire when all of its outbuildings—a large barn, shedding, barracks, etc.—burned, netting a $5,000–$6,000 loss, including a large cash of corn, wheat, straw, and provender. The dwelling was only saved through the effort and exertion of many neighbors who rushed to the scene when they heard the bell ringing in the tower of nearby St. John's Roman Catholic Church. Margaret's grandmother Sarah died in 1900, and in the spring of 1904—when she was just 13—her father Harry died unexpectedly at the age of 56 following a two-week battle with paralysis. By 1905, Margaret's mother Helen had relocated the family to Baltimore's "Mount Vernon" neighborhood, where the Lillys took up residence at 916 N. Calvert Street. While living there, Margaret attained her formal education at the Institute of Notre Dame. Her older brother, Austin Alfred Jenkins Lilly (1883–1962), wed Mary Helen Scott Browne (1888–1951) during the spring of 1908. This union proved beneficial, as Margaret grew close with her brother-in-law (Mary's older brother), Thomas Horace Arrell Browne (1882–1933). Less than a year later in January of 1909, Margaret and Horace wed, thus making the two couples siblings-in-law on both sides. Talk about double-dating! From this Browne–Lilly marriage sprang five children—four of whom lived to adulthood: Margaret Arrell Browne (1909–1963) [Mrs William Farnandis Robson]; Sarah Lee Browne (1911–1940) [Mrs Henry Clay Birkhead]; Charlotte Bowyer Browne (1915–1988) [Mrs Murray Lloyd Goldsborough Jr]; and Harriet Harper Browne (1923–1989) [Mrs Patrick Joseph Monaghan Jr]. Around the time her husband went blind, Margaret turned her love of flowers into a money-making venture. She became a florist and proprietor of "The Little Flower Shop," which was located at 2438 St. Paul Street in the "Old Goucher" neighborhood of Baltimore City. Her business partner was Eleanor M. O'Neill (Mrs Charles W. Sloan), who was then living in Apartment G2 at 104 University Parkway. For many years, Fuffy was a resident of 1806 Park Avenue in the northern half of the "Mount Royal" neighborhood (later renamed "Reservoir Hill," when the southern half of Mount Royal was dubbed "Bolton Hill.")
