In 1872-73 the family moved to Franklin, Idaho and about 1885 made their last move to Eagle Rock, now Idaho Falls, Idaho. Her father dismantled their log house and transported it to Idaho Falls where it was reassembled and enlarged. It was located on the river bank at the south end of Capital Street. Here Ozetta married James Andrew Bybee, 3rd son of Robert Lee and Jane Miller Bybee, on July 20, 1892. Four of their children were born in the vicinity, Ozetta at Idaho Falls on October 13, 1894, Lenora and Leah, twin daughters, near Menan, Idaho, on May 4, 1896 (Leah lived about an hour) and Genoris Robert in the Ammon district near Idaho Falls on September 9, 1898.
In 1903 James, a civil engineer, went to the newly opened Twin Falls tract where he did the surveying for most of the laterals of that extensive irrigation project. Ozetta and children followed in 1904 and lived in a tent under primitive conditions until the town of Twin Falls was established. They acquired 40 acres one mile north of the new Twin Falls townsite and there Lee James was born on January 22, 1905. He was originally named Ozro Lee but his name was later changed by his parents. About 1906-07 they built and moved into a larger house in Twin Falls and there Mary Elizabeth was born on October 6, 1908. About 1912 James became County Surveyor which office he held until 1922.
Their daughter Ozetta married Wilmer James Hough at Twin Falls, Idaho, on December 25, 1914 and Jeade D. Hoskins at Elko, Nevada, on September 25, 1946. Lenora married Walter Glen Smith at Twin Falls on April 20, 1920 and Genoris Robert married Iola Jane Leichliter at Pocatello, Idaho, on April 24, 1921.
In 1919 the family moved to Filer, Idaho, where Ozetta, the mother , developed crippling arthritis which rendered her bedfast the remainder of her life. In 1922 the family moved to Driggs, Idaho, where James was resident engineer on highway construction for the State of Idaho in whose employ he continued until he retired in 1948. The summer of 1923 they moved to Rexburg, Idaho, and early in 1924 to Boise, Idaho, where James and Ozetta resided the remainder of their lives.
Ozetta died at Boise on February 12, 1932 and was buried in Morris Hill cemetary in that city on February 15, 1932. James died at Boise on October 8, 1952 and was buried beside her on October 11, 1952. Ozetta may have joined the Baptist church in her girlhood.
