She married George Anthony, a Civil War veteran, in Eureka, Illinois, in May, 1914. After his death she came east and lived with her cousin, Mrs. Bessie Hollenbaugh, in Mannsville, and part time with Mrs. Moyer.

Derrick, of Everett; a niece, Mrs. Florence Derrick Camp, of Terentum; cousins, Mrs. Harry Lesh and Mrs. Sara Hepler, Newport; Mrs. C. M. Nicholas, Pottsville; Mrs. Bessie Hollenbaugh, Mannsville, and nephew, James Burd, of Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Anthony was a refined lady of admirable character, kind and gracious, and was loved and respected by all who knew her. Her old friends are greatly grieved over her death.
