A Portrait and Biographical Record of Boone, Clinton and Hendricks Counties, Ind.,
A.W. Bowen, Chicago, 1895, page 422:
She was first married, December 25, 1871, to Charles B. Conklin, a farmer of Benton county, by whom she had one child — Maud. Mr. Conklin died September 30, 1876, and after his death she followed dressmaking at Fowler, Benton county, until her marriage with Mr. Riley. Mrs. Riley is an expert butter-maker, and at the World's fair received the highest score and two premiums for her products of August and September — the score for the two months being ninety-six and one-half percent, and for her exhibit for October was awarded twenty-four days and nights' lodging at the ladies' dormitory and a gold medal. Mrs. Riley is a lady of fine social as well as domestic accomplishments, and is in full sympathy with her husband, not only in the science of making choice butter, but in his raising fine seeds and in poultry raising, and, in fact, is a thorough helpmate in all branches of his agricultural interests.
