Frutilda was left a widow at age 28, with a family of six small children, four girls and two boys, the eldest ten years old, when her husband died suddenly in a hay field on 1 Aug 1833.
The family inherited 40 acres of wild land with a cabin on it, near Johnstown, Ohio. Only a small portion of the land was cleared. The struggle for a living was most strenuous. Frutilda showed herself equal to the taks, and succeeded in bringing up her family to mature age, with the exception of the oldest son, George, who died at the age of 19.
