August 22nd, 1861, she was married to George E. Andersen, who died March 12, 1865. To this union two children, Williaim Lawson and Dora Isabel, were born.
September 10th, 1868, Mrs. Andersen was united in marriage to Scott Dragoo, at Ripley, Ohio. Soon after their marriage they came to Missouri and settled on a farm six miles from Rock Port, near the present site of Langdon, where they were to live for forty-nine years. Two children Susan Amanda and Louisa Myrtle were born to this marriage.
In 1917 Mr. and Mrs. Dragoo moved to Tarkio and have made their home here since that time. Mrs. Dragoo was eighty-four years and two months old at the time of her death. Since last November her daughter, Mrs. Bartholomew, had been with her and during the last week of her illness, a granddaughter, Miss Ruth Bartholomew a nurse from State University Hospital, Omaha, Nebr., cared for her.
