She settled in Denmark, Ia. where in 1851 she married Conrad C. Achilles. In 1857 this couple came to Fontanelle, by ox team and settled down to farming in an Indian neighborhood then presided over by Chief Fontenellle. In 1853 the couple, tiring of farm life, came to Blair where they erected a neat cottage on West Colfax Street. They enjoyed a happy married life until the death of Mr. Achilles.
