(11 July 1895 - 1906) divorced 2 children. In 1895 she married Capt. Rudolph MacLeod, an officer in the Dutch colonial army. According to many reports, Rudolph was abusive, and he infected Margaretha with syphilis. From 1897 to 1902 they lived in Java and Sumatra. The couple had two children, though their son died, allegedly poisoned by the nanny; however, some have speculated that he contracted syphilis from his parents and that his death was caused by mercury treatments for the disease. After returning to Europe, the couple separated, eventually divorcing in 1906. Margaretha initially had custody of their daughter, but Rudolph refused to provide financial assistance, forcing her to leave the child in his care.
