Coming to the United States they located in Wisconsin, where, on April 25, 1872, she was united in marriage to Coleman Harrington. They spent several years on a homestead in Dakota and from there came to Iowa. To this union was born eleven children, five boys and six girls; of these, two girls and one boy preceded their mother to the other World. Besides the husband and remaining children, there is an aged father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. T. Amos, of Westfield, three brothers and three sisters, left to mourn the departure of a faithful and devoted loved one; also a wide circle of friends who admired and respected her for her true worth and splendid womanly qualities, and who extend their sympathy and mingle their sorrow with the bereaved family.
