From Hosea Stout's journal about their marriage:
[November] 20, 1845, Thursday. Went to the Hall as usual and then met with the Lodge. Saw R. [Robert L.] Campbell who took a profile likeness of myself and J. [Jesse] D. Hunter then came home ...
Today Marinda Bennett came to live at my house and made it her home.

From Hosea Stout's journal about her death:
Wednesday September 23rd 1846. I was at home all day to day attending on the sick. Marinda was very sick with the Dropsy & cold on the lungs. The camp commenced to move to day to new location.
Friday September 25th 1846. This morning I moved down to the new city and arranged my tents and waggons after which I went round to see what was going on...
Saturday September 26th 1846. To day was another unfortunate day to me. A day when the destroyer stalked forth triumphantly in my family and tore another one from our midst. Marinda who had been very sick for some time was taken worse last evening and delivered of a child (born dead). after which she seemed to have but little pain during the night. She did not seem to realize much pain all day although her looks had for some day indicated her approaching end. She retained her senses perfectly well as long as she could hear or see and only seemed to drop to sleep with the exceptions of the death glare of her eyes. she died about two o'clock p. m. her death came by the dropsy as the doctor said & was from the beginning of such a complicated nature that it was incurable.
She had ever been true & faithful to me from the first of our acquaintance & had rendered her self by her sturdy true & subordinate habits, very near & dear to me which made this stroke of adversity more accutely felt by me & the rest of my family.
There is now only four of us left and whose turn will be next God only knows.
