At an early age she gave her heart to the Lord and continued steadfast to the end. In 1878 her parents came to Kansas and in a short time she, with her husband and family, also made the journey west, seeking a new home. They settled in Rice county, in the Chase and Alden communities, and there lived the lives of the early pioneers, making a home out of the virgin prairie, and raised their family. In 1910 the family journeyed to Canada, there again to establish a new home in a pioneer community.
On Easter Sunday, 1911, her companion answered his call, and she continued to reside in Canada. After her husband's death she helped her income in Canada by going into homes that were expecting babies. She also cooked many fall meals for threshing crews.
In 1925 (or '26), she returned to Lyons to make her home with her son, Bill.
She was the true pioneer wife and mother, sharing the hardships and trials as well as the joys and pleasures of those around her. She was a kind and loving mother, rearing a fine family of four sturdy sons and one daughter. She had the happy faculty of making friends and few enemies wherever her lot was cast. All that loving hearts and hands could do to make her last years comfortable was done for her.
