'On October 2, 1889 she was married to James W. Woods. They lived in Emerson, Nebraska several years, then moved in 1905, according to journal entry by John Lester Douglas to Belleville, Republic County Kansas, where they made their home until they came to Douglass Butler County, Kansas in 1909. After about a year spent here in town they moved out to the farm where the remainder of her life was spent.
