In the year of 1891 she was united in marriage to William P. Pierce. To this union were born eight children: Morris of Grundy Center, Merle Glaspy of Des Moines, Ralph of Peoria, George of West Burlington, Gladys Mason of Mitchell, Iowa; Olive Landon of Des Moines, Clarence of Spirit Lake and Roscoe of Newton.

During her residence in Illinois she was affiliated with the Graham Chapel, a country church, of Coles county. As a mother, she was possessed with a spirit of self sacrifice for her children.
