The only problem is that only the South Branch (sort of) flows north. The main course, if anything, heads south. I grew up in Eugene, OR, at the headwaters of the Willamette, which really does flow north. But I don't recall any of my high school chums telling me about the Willamette and the Nile.
How did Saint Margaret of Scotland die? Margaret died on November 16, 1093, at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, four days after her husband and son died in defense of the castle. Edit
The founding of St. Margaretâs in 1874 coincided with the incorporation of the village of Washington Heights, which took in not only the area of St. Margaret of Scotland and the Academy of Our Lady, but most of what is now called Beverly. St. Margaret was surrounded by farms, prairie, and mud.
