She went to Southern Utah when her husband was called to found St. George and preside over the Cotton Mission. For a year she lived at Pine Valley then lived for some time in a log cabin on Main Street in St. George. At length she moved to a nicer home in St. George where she lived for the remainder of her life. She had little desire to travel but did occasionally accompany her husband on his many trips.
