When the family moved to Ottumwa, her maternal grandparents also moved into the house next door to them. There was an enclosed walkway between the two houses so that family members could go back and forth in any kind of weather. Their grandfather Mallory was an invalid from the Civil War.

During World War I she served as an Army nurse at Camp Pike in Little Rock, Arkansas. After she left the Army, she taught for seven years at the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
