Jennie's family lived for a time in Tannersville, a town northwest of Scipio that no longer exists. This town was on the Jefferson, Madison and Indianapolis railroad, convenient for her father, who was a foreman for the railroad.
Her social circle was centered at Scipio and she taught a few terms in the public schools in the area. Since a married woman could not teach school, she had to leave this occupation upon her marriage to Asbury S. Corya on 14 February 1861.
She and Asbury lived on a farm at Hege in Jennings County, a town that no longer exists. If you know where to look, you can still see the railroad right-of-way that once brought passengers to the little store at Hege operated by Asbury Corya. He was a railroad employee for 40 years.
For one year, 1863-1864, they lived in Lafayette, Indiana where Asbury tried out the grocery business. However, Jennie missed her family and friends in Geneva Township and they returned to the farm.
Jennie contracted an unidentified illness in 1879, spent time in the hospital on more than one occasion, and suffered from this ailment until her death. Pneumonia was the immediate cause of death in combination with her weakness from the other ongoing illness.
There was an obituary published in the North Vernon Sun, North Vernon, Indiana, 1 August 1902, which gives a few other details.
