On December 4, 1879, Elmina married Jesse Brigham Humphreys. Jesse was a native of Grahamstown, South Africa. He came with his parents, Joseph Richard and Charlotte Poulton Humhreys, to Utah in 1859, and settled in Salt Lake City. As a boy, he herded cows for Brigham Young in City Creek Canyon. They came to Millville in 1865, and he and his brothers farmed in Millville and Pocatello Valley.
Elmina had poor health, so her boys took turns staying home to do the washing. The oldest son, Bert, was in charge of getting breakfast and sending the younger children to school. The daughters helped bottle 1200 quarts of fruit every year for their family of eighteen. Elmina died March 17, 1932.
Elmina and Jesse were the parents of sixteen children: Joseph Robert, Margaret Perletta, Jesse Lorenzo, Angus Leroy, Willard Haines, Hazen Archie, Estella Mabel, James Roscoe, John Russell, Bertha Pearl, Ruth LaBlanche, Sarah Eliza, Dowayne Percival, Oressa, Collas and Philo.
