Her life was a tragic one.

She had eight children and her land holdings in the Bitteroot were significant in that they were sold off to Marcus Daly soon after she was sent to an asylum in Warm Springs, MT. The doctor stated that she was tidy and kept to herself. I don't believe any of her family came to visit her after she was sent away. In those days no one spoke of these things and her existence was hidden. Her name wasn't forgotten and my mother was named after her even though there were 5 generations between them.

It was a harsh life in those days and many suffered the deprivations of the Montana territory as it was known when she arrived.
