She and Wiley Holden joined the church during this time and moved to Far West, Independence and eventually to Nauvoo, Illinois. When they were pushed out of Nauvoo they came to Council Bluffs, preparing to cross the plains. When another group camped close to them her husband Wiley Himes Holden died of smallpox 1852.
She threw in with another family named Reynolds who had lost their mother in the same smallpox outbreak to cross the plains. Family stories say she came with Daniel Spencer Company but both Daniel Spencer Company's came in 1847, 6 years earlier. Pioneer Overland Travel states she came with the Appleton M.

This was not a happy union. She went to Provo and kept house for a man, Sam Thompson.

After that she went to live with her son James Harvey Heath in Salina. She lived there till the end of her days.
You may be sure she knew of the trouble with bears and indians. These pioneers of Utah had to endure much. Their lives were full of toil and disappointments, as only these brave people will ever know.
One thing was she wanted to see a train in Utah. When they were about to take her to Provo, for that was as far south as the train went at that time; she suffered a stroke and died one year later at the home of her son William at Lost Creek, where she had gone for a visit. She died 26 July 1891.
