Later life[edit]

Portrait of Margaret Brown

At the time of J.J. Brown's death on September 5, 1922, Margaret told newspapers, "I've never met a finer, bigger, more worthwhile man than J.J. Brown." J.J. died intestate, and five years of disputation between Margaret and her two children were required to finally settle the estate. Due to their lavish spending, J.J. left an estate valued at only $238,000, equal to $3,364,648 today. Maggie was to receive $20,000 in cash and securities (equal to $282,744 today), and the interest on a $100,000 trust fund (equal to $1,413,718 today) in her name. $118,000 was to be divided between her two children, who each received a $59,000 (equal to $834,093 today) trust fund. A court case against Catherine and Lawrence was settled privately, and Margaret and her children were reconciled at the time of Margaret's death in 1932.

Margaret's fame as a well-known Titanic survivor helped her promote the issues she felt strongly about: the rights of workers and women, education and literacy for children, historic preservation, and commemoration of the bravery and chivalry displayed by the men aboard the Titanic. During World War I in France, she worked with the American Committee for Devastated France to rebuild areas behind the front line, and helped wounded French and American soldiers. She was awarded the French Légion d'Honneur for her good citizenship, activism, and philanthropy in America.

During the last years of her life, she was an actress.

Death[edit]

Margaret Brown died in her sleep at 10:55 p.m. on October 26, 1932 (during the Great Depression) at the Barbizon Hotel in New York City, New York. Subsequent autopsy revealed a brain tumor. She is buried along with J.J. in the Cemetery of the Holy Rood in Westbury, New York.^[5]
