With her husband and family she moved to Cedar county, Iowa , in 1854, and in 1876 they moved to Stafford county.(Kansas) where she has been a resident ever since with the exception of a short time spent in Oklahoma. Her husband departed this life in 1887. She was converted and joined the Baptist church at the age of 28, and had since lived a faithful Christian life. She was at the time of her death 94 years, 11 months and 10 days old.
