Mrs. Margaret Yeo

CONVERT AND NOVELIST
Deep regret is felt at the death, which occurred at Hillingdon Court, Middlesex, on May 12, of Mrs. Margaret Yeo, the famous novelist. She bad a stroke about 16 months ago, from which she never recovered. The body was taken to Harpenden Church, where a Requiem was offered on Thursday, interment following in the Catholic portion of the local cemetery. It was in Harpenden where she had made her home for at least 12 years before her illness, though she had lived previously in St. Albans, being well known in both places.
Known widely for the many articles she wrote an the English Martyrs and Confessors under the Tudors and Stuarts, her novels found their way to many public and private libraries as well, and many of them will be readily remembered by our readers. Thus in 1927 she published " Salt," and a year later " A King of Shadows "; five others followed, besides which she wrote " St. Francis Xavier " in 1931, and " St. Charles Borromeo " in 1938.
Margaret Yeo was the daughter of Charles F. Routledge, H.M. Inspector of Schools and Hon. Canon of Canterbury Cathedral, her mother being a daughter of Bishop Blomfield of London. Educated at Barton Segrave Rectory, Northants, and at Lausanne, she was received into the Church in 1916, and became an Oblate of Prinknash Abbey.
She married in 1906 Eric Yeo, member of a distinguished Irish legal family.
