Her age varies in every record I have seen for her. For now, I am going with the age on her marriage license which indicates she was born in 1852, which made her older than her husband.

After her husband's death in 1890, she raised her children in Chenoa and worked as a washerwoman. At least three children were born to them. Along with Frank, they were Daisy and Wilber, according to the 1900 census.

They lived at 60 Third Avenue in Chenoa.

In the 1910 census, Wilber was still living at home with her in Chenoa and Daisy was married.
