According to her cousin Ethel Albin, Amy and James were m. in Perry Co., OH. It would have been in 1883, the date on the group photo, which appears to have been taken at their wedding. Jim Hoy was standing next to Amy who was sitting by her grandmother Enora (Barnes) Powell. Her grandfather Moses Powell was seated next to Enora with Amy's parents Van & Mary Eleanor (Powell) Lanning seated at the end of that row with Amy's little sister.

Ethel Albin wrote: "They moved to Richardson Co., NE in Oct. 1883, settling near Dawson. They lived on various farms in Richardson Co., NE, known by various names --- the Infield place, on the farm of Mr. & Mrs. William Riley, the Roceck place, the Beda place, Uncle Taber's place, also known as the Vogel place, where James farmed the land and ground the corn into meal for others in the community in the mill located on the farm. This writer remembers visiting the Hoys when they lived just north of the Nemaha River Channel, four miles south of Dawson, NE. One could not see the house from the road (now U.S. Highway 75), as the house was hidden behind some trees along the south side of the old Nemaha River bank."

Ethel also wrote that Amy "was baptized on 11 Nov. 1906, and joined the Union Gospel Church in Salem, NE. On Nov. 23, 1923, she transferred her membership to the United Brethren Church south of Dawson. She lived in Richardson Co. 52 years and Pawnee County nine years. The last seven years prior to her death, she lived in Humboldt, NE. She died about six months following a paralytic stroke."
