Hattie and Sam settled in the farm community of Dinuba in the early 1900's and grew citrus and other fruit.
After Sam's death in 1944, she lived with two of her daughters, both nurses, Harriet and Marlouise, in Fresno, California.
Hattie died on 24 Apr 1944 and was buried in the Smith Mountain Cemetery, Dinuba, Tulare County, California.
