She was married to Charles Lewis Feathers in 1896, and to this union six children were born: Edna, William, Alta, Merle, Myrtle and Mabel. Mabel [sic Myrtle] preceded her mother in death by twelve years and the others with their father are left to mourn the loss of a loving wife and an affectionate mother. Besides the members of her immediate family she leaves three sisters: Miss Mayme White, Chicago, Mrs. Mort Harbican, Chicago, Mrs. David Carr, Minneapolis, and two brothers, Lewis, Elk Grove and William, Platteville.
For the last two years or more, Mrs. Feathers has been in poor health, and during the last three months has been confined to her bed. All that loving hands and medical skill could do for her seemed to little avail and on April 15, she succumbed to an operation. Conditions for her recovery were hopeful, until Saturday morning when she suddenly became worse and died in Shullsburg, April 24, 1920, at the age of 50 years, 1 month and one day.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the M.E. church in Belmont. The pall bearers were John Boom, Albert Beaumont, Sam Vickers, Richard Moody, Lew Teasdale and John Ingersoll Jr.
