In 1868, she was married to Ariel Jones and always lived in Fairfield, with the exception of three years in Waterville, until the death of her husband, in 1903, when she came to Lewiston to live with her daughter.
She was a charter member of Victor grange, Fairfield, and Burnside Relief Corps, Auburn, and made many friends in Lewiston and Auburn. She was of a retiring, homeloving disposition, but with a kindly and helpful nature that made her loved by all who knew her.
