She and her mother were born in Ohio, but her father was born in Kentucky. She had had ten children of whom eight were living. All eight were living at home.

The children were Leroy 24, farmer; Myona 23; Amy 20, farm laborer; Charles 15, at school; Manna 14, at school; Minnie 12; Verba ten, at school;and Merla eight years.
