She married Jose Saldivar in Zacatecas, MX. They emigrated to Thurber, TX, which is now a ghost town-tourist attraction, where Jose was a brick maker and wood cutter. He was heavily in debt to the Thurber employer store when he took a job with the Bettendorf Co. (Bettendorf, Scott, IA). They lived in Boxcar City along the river until the city allowed them to move across the highway.
They made train wheel assemblies for the train industry that was flourishing since the 1850s when the first bridge over the Mississippi was built here.
Her son, Victor/Caterino "Nino" and wife Wanda and son Victor lived with her until her death.
