She married Frank Watkins on Oct. 3, 1897 in Falls County, Texas. Not realizing at the time that it was for her benefit, she first noticed him on Main Street in Kosse, Texas. He was horseback and made his mount rear up on his hind legs numerous times in front of her that Saturday afternoon! She thought, "what a smart aleck!" But, he got her attention that day and they were later married anyway.
