After the marriage of Edward and Francelia, they worked for a company building railroad grades. Edward work on the grades and Francelia was the cook for the crew. The company had a chicken coup on wheels so they had eggs and meat where every they went.

She gave it to him and a few days later found her cake plate by the door of the tent.
They moved different places from Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota to Oklahoma. They moved from Conerdia, Kansas, to Sulphur, Oklahoma, in 1892 and then moved to Mooreland community in 1900.
