She was one of a family of eleven children, two boys and nine girls, all having preceded her to the other life but her youngest sister, Mrs. J. T. Hamilton, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The following year she came west with her parents and settled in Belvidere, Illinois. Here she was united in marriage to John Govier in 1861. Shortly afterward they came west and settled near Osage. She had lived nearly fifty years in this community, over thirty-three years of this time on her farm west of town.
