She was a school teacher in Saukville. (1870 U.S. Census report). What brought her to Manistee County may attribute to the fact her older brother James Francis settled there in 1858 with his new bride, Agnes Lydia Crawford from Kenosha. They had one issue before James volunteered to serve the cause of the Union and enlised with the 3rd Michigan Infantry in Grand Rapids. Her next brother, Daniel Eugene came after the Civil War to work in a Manistee lumberyard until an accident crippling one of his feet. And sister Katie also went to Manistee possibly to help care for her nephew Frank James and his widowed mother.
"Frank Young (sic) and Miss Lizzie McGinley, of Stronach (Manistee County, Michigan) on Wednesday (11 September) adopted the matrimonial platform and pooled their issues." The Manistee Times, 12 September 1872.
First child, Louisa was born on 17 April 1880 in Manistee. The next child, Joseph Cyrille "Jack" was born on 30 November 1881 in Marinette, Wisc. The last two children, Earl Francis (b. 2 January 1884) and Clare M. (b. 2 June 1889) were born in the adjacent town of Menominee just across the state line in Michigan.
No obituary and location of burial plot were yet found in spite of feelers out to librarians and sextons of local cemeteries in search for them.
