At the latter place she met Thos. Edward Singleton, whom she married Oct. 23, 1887 at Roseburg. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Miller at the home of Ed's father. Roseburg was their home for the next few years, followed by residence at Oak Creek and Garden Valley, where they lived on a farm formerly owned by her father. Moving to Hilt, Calif., she was manager of the Hilt Sugar Pine cookhouse for two years. Returning to Oregon the family resided at Wilbur and in 1909 moved to Roseburg where they resided until her death.
Ed and Cora Singleton had two children. Bliss, who makes his home in Drain, and Beryl (Mrs. H. F. Ogden), who lives in Eugene.
