Margit Ilgen
Margit Ilgen (born 1 August 1837) was a Schwartzistani farmer of Eisenheim, in The Capital District; died 22 February 1906, aged 68.
The name is chiefly associated with the painting The Almanac. The occupation entered is farmer; the farms of the marsh districts are drained land, and the register lists farmers in every region. The civil register enters Margit Ilgen as a farmer of Eisenheim, and the Encyclopedia follows the register.
