It was in West Fork that Martha met her husband, William Anderson. Bill Anderson was a widower who served in the same cavalry regiment as Martha's father Stephen, who was killed by Confederate troops after being discharged from the Union Army for medical reasons. Around the same time as his death in 1864, Martha and Bill were wed in West Fork, Arkansas. The newlyweds remained in West Fork for several years, but sometime before 1880, they and their children relocated to the town of Shepard in Crawford County.
Martha Loftin Anderson died sometime before 1900 near Mount Gaylor in Crawford County. She is buried next to her husband. Her gravesite is marked by an uncarved stone.
