In 1890 Hattie married John Webster in Camden County, Missouri. He and his bride lived on a farm in a very remote area of Warren Township near the Niangua River. It was in a very hilly, wooded area where fresh springs abounded and had enough creek bottom land to grow crops to feed themselves and their livestock. Wild hogs, squirrels, and deer were also were plentiful, and John fed his family from the wildlife.
Hattie gave birth to six children -- Eva Florence, Ada, Zoe, Annie, Andrew (Jay), and Alvin (Babe) Webster. Tragedy struck in 1912, however, and Hattie died of a stroke at age 38 years, 4 months, 4 days, leaving John with a houseful of children ages 2 to 16. The girls took over the household chores and mothered the youngest children, and John never remarried.
Hattie was buried in Union Cemetery, where John later joined her.
