Along with her parents, she moved to Tyronza, AR in 1906. She married Lee Davis in Ravenden Springs in 1916. No children were born to this union

The couple made their home in Ravenden Springs, where Lee was in the mercantile business for a time with his father and two brothers--Jim and Clark. After selling the store, Lee and Nettie farmed and raised stock, mules, and horses for sale. Lee served in World War I after receiving training at Tulane University.
