She was the senior editor upon the staff of the Woman's Temperance Publishing Association, overseeing The Union Signal. Sudduth was called in July 1887 to a position as editor of Oak and Ivy Leaf, organ of the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union (Y. W. C. T. U.), and soon became associate editor of The Union Signal also. In 1892, on her appointment as managing editor of The Union Signal, she resigned her connection with the young woman's paper.{{sfn|Chapin|1895|p=68}} Early years and educationMargaret Ashmore Sudduth was born on a farm in Mason County, Illinois, June 29, 1959.{{sfn|Cherrington|1929|p=2547}} Her parents were Dr. James McCreary Sudduth (1827–1895) and Amanda Elizabeth Sudduth (1828–1898).
