She married on 14 March 1868, Thomas Garn, a pioneer of 1861 who came with the Milo Andrus Company also by ox team. They were married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah. They settled for one year in the Sugar House area. Then they made their home in Coalville, Utah where six children were born to them. Their first child having been born in Salt Lake City.

In Coalville they eventually secured a parcel of ground and built a home to house their family.
The children were taught to knit stockings and to make their own clothing, to tend the garden and crops, to cook and keep house. They molded candles for light in addition to kerosene lights.
Esther was a true helpmate to her husband in providing spiritual guidance, emotional stability and the physical needs for her family. Her joys and sorrows were intertwined in them and their well being.
