Nearest Relative Or Friend In Country Whence Came As Read
The image is faint and affected by bleed-through from the reverse/adjacent card; several fields are readable only at medium confidence.
Given names read as "Margaret Jean"; the second name may be the same "Jeane" spelling seen in Walter George Ponceby's Canadian Virtual War Memorial record.
Birthplace appears to read "Borden, P.E.I., Can." This differs from the DeSable/Hampton PARO baptismal-index lead and should be preserved as a source-level reading rather than normalized.
The nearest-relative/friend line in Canada is unclear; current reading is "Mr. ... Allison, C.N.R., Canada."
Prior U.S. residence appears to read from 1876 to 1905 in Massachusetts; the reading is uncertain but broadly consistent with the Boston marriage and Donald Edwin Ponceby birth records.
The destination line is read as "Son
Donald Ponceby, 9715 Logan Ct, Cleveland Ohio"; this links the card to Donald Edwin Ponceby but does not by itself promote Margaret from lead status.
No printed repository citation page was supplied with the JPEG, so no citation block was added.
Linked to the canonical Margaret Mac Kennon Ponceby person after the 1901 Boston marriage certificate was accepted; this border-crossing source remains proposed pending review.
Do not update canonical birth, death, or later-life details from this proposed source until the conflicting PEI/Risteen path is reviewed.
