He was also a gallant and faithful soldier in the Civil War, in which he contracted a serious illness which later incapacitated him and finally resulted in his death.
After her honored husband's death, she removed with her family to Joplin, MO. coming hither in 1873. She rented a small piece of property in East Joplin, as a home, but it was not long before she bargained for the property where she reared to maturity her family of two children, and that home was paid for by the son. She was a devoted and adorable mother, and was ever kind to the sick and unfortunate. After the city began to grow she moved to the West side, in a home owned by her son, provided with all the modern comforts. There she resided until her death in 1907, at the age of sixty-seven years.
She was a lady of rare accomplishments and womanly attributes, and at the time of her demise was deeply mourned by a wide circle of admiring friends and acquaintances.
Her daughter, Allie K., in her first marriage was the wife of W. E. Poundstone, a prominent citizen of Joplin where he engaged in the greenhouse and nursery business.
