Marguerite, Baroness de Reuter

[1] Paul Reuter, a Jew who settled in the United Kingdom and converted to Christianity, had previously begun his career in journalism in Aachen, Germany, using carrier pigeons and telegraphs.

[1] She was born on 14 July 1912, the daughter of George Uehlinger of Neunkirch, Switzerland.

The title became extinct upon the death of her husband, the 4th Baron, since there was no male heir.

[1] She died at the age of 96 on Sunday 25 January 2009 at a French nursing home near the border with Monaco.

Tom Glocer, the chief executive of Thomson Reuters at that time, released a statement upon Marguerite's death, saying: "Although the founding family of Reuters were no longer significant shareholders in the company, the baroness did notably attend a service at St Bride's Church, London, to mark Reuters' historic move from Fleet Street to Canary Wharf in 2005.
