In 1892 she was sent to Salt Lake to study obstetrics so for the rest of her life she was Leamington's practical nurse. One of the men she employed to work on her farm was a man named Andrew Johnson. She later married him, but he proved unworthy so they were separated. She passed away June 28, 1916 and was buried beside her husband, Lewis.
