By the marriage to Cole Weeks she had three children, one of whom is living and now residing in Kansas. By her second marriage with David C. Lizer she had seven sons all of whom are living. One in Nebraska, one in Illinois and five here.. For years it has been her wish to live to care for her husband as long as he lived. In this her wish was completely gratified as his death occurred September 17th and her death on September 19th, 1884. She was a member of the Pleasant Hill class with her husband. She selected the text for her funeral sermon and the same hymns were sung and the same bearers officated as at the funeral of her husband two days before.

He was a cripple and by his side was a bottle half full of strychnine. A considerable amount of money and other valuables were found in his pockets. It is a clear case of suicide. He was a bachelor 60 years old and comfortably fixed. He lived with a brother and had recently complained of terrible pains in the head, which probably caused temporary insanity.
