She married John G. Whitaker April 26, 1894 in Chillicothe, Livingston, Missouri. The marriage record has that he was a resident of Villisca, Montgomery, Iowa and she was a resident of Hennessey, Oklahoma

1900 census has her birth month and year as Nov 1873. Her obit has her age as 60 years old. Headstone has 1872.

On the 1930 census she is listed as widowed, living in Okmulgee, Okmulgee, Oklahoma with her son Forrest. Found a J.G. Whitaker listed in Craig County OK in 1930 and he's listed as a widower. They were probably divorced or seperated. I have found with other family that widowed sometimes means divorced since it was not as socially acceptable back then.
