She was married in south Tama to Arthur Manfull June 17, 1897. They farmed in south Tama for 17 years on a farm adjoining the place occupied by Mr. Manfull's parents, before they moved to north Tama, and took over a farm 5 miles north of Traer in Buckingham township. The last 10 years on the Buckingham farm they were in the dairy business, and Mr. Manfull delivered milk in town to Traer customers. He died February 26, 1941, of a stroke.
