While living there, she was united in marriage to Stephen Hill and remained in Detroit for several years.

To this union was born one daughter, Annie Luella, in 18--. In 1893 Mr. Hill died, leaving the wife and daughter alone.

In 1894 she was united in marriage to Mr. John W. Stevens of Toledo, Ohio, and in the following year came to Earlham, Iowa where she has resided for many years.

About eight years ago she moved to Dexter where she has lived ever since.
