https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Lawrence_Beisel_%281%29 Margaret's obituary lists Lawrence as her son. Is he her adopted son or biological son? Censuses seem to indicate he is a (biological) cousin and/or boarder. Lawrence's social security application says that Margaret Beisel is his mother and no father is listed. Was she a single mother and all of these differently reported relationships are historical euphemisms for an unwed mother?
