In the year 1897 she was united in marriage to Samuel Byron DeGraw of Hennessey, Oklahoma. Later they moved to a farm near Canton. Seven children were born to this union.

Preceding their mother in death were four sons, Bert, Lee, Ruben and Otis; also 3 grandchildren and 7 brothers also preceded her in death.
