To this union was born one son, Russell V. Sims.
She was a daughter of Nathaniel and Lois Campbell Milby. Almost her entire lifetime was lived in Schuyler county. She attended the Rushville schools. Early in life she became a member of the Shiloh Methodist church, where her membership still remains. Until her health failed she was much interested and active in the ladies organizations of the church, and was also at the time of her death a member of the Royal Guard Sunday school class of the Rushville Methodist church.
