With the exception of three years that she lived in Minnesota the rest of her life was spent in Grundy county.

Mr. and Mrs. Bartholomew were married Dec. 25, 1894. They began housekeeping on the Rock Hill farm south of Conrad where they lived a few years. Later they purchased a farm in Felix township three miles northwest of Conrad where they resided many years and where their children grew up. Mr. Bartholomew died in 1945. His wife has resided in Conrad since that time.
