She went to Clark University in Massachusetts.

She put out her third book in 1903, 'The Lily of the Valleys', (which was a dramatization of 'The Song of Solomon' in five acts).

In 1904, Stockard ventured to Independence County, Arkansas, and wrote: 'The History of Lawrence, Jackson, Independence and Stone Counties of the Third Judicial District of Arkansas'. This book, often referred to as "The Arkansas Book," was one of the earliest regional history books to be researched locally.

Around 1908, the family moved near Clovis, New Mexico. Stockard used her maiden name, a practice she followed most of her life. She moved to New Mexico and Texas where she worked as a teacher and did house chores-for-hire.

She settled in New York in the 1920s.

Around 1940, she founded and published a community newspaper, the 'Nassau Golden Fleece News Gleaner'. She moved to Florida, where she lived in semi-retirement.

At 70 yrs of age, Stockard penned her yet-to-be-published autobiography titled: "Daughter of the Piedmont: Chapel Hill's First Co-Ed Graduate."
