In the 1900 census, she was living alone in Pontiac, Illinois, at 520 Howard St. She stated she was born in Ohio, was divorced, and had two children, and neither one was living. She was one of the very last people enumerated in Pontiac city limits, possibly because she had recently moved to her address. She was working at selling books and novelties, possibly from her home, or door to door. She stated that she had been born in June, 1831, and was 68, but that birth year would conflict with her headstone.
