In 1844 her parents removed to Kewanee, Illinois, and there she was married to David W. Bennett, September 17, 1848, almost seventy years ago.
In 1879 they moved to Fremont county, Iowa, and in 1882 came to Lamoni. They dwelt on a farm about four miles southwest of Lamoni until Mr. Bennett died July 28, 1887.
