When she was a very small child, the family moved to southern, Ind., where they lived until 1877, then moving in covered wagons to Marion Co., Illinois a jurney (journey) that took two weeks time. There she met James W. Hankins, to whom she was wed in 1882.

Your are not dead, life has but set you free!
Your years of life were like a lovely song,
The last sweet pignant notes of which held long,
Passed into silence while we listened, we
Who loved you, listened still expectingly!
And we about you whom you moved among
Would feel that grief for you were surely wrong-----
You have but passed by and where we can see
For us, who knew you, dread of age past!
You took life, tiptoe, to the very last;
It never lost for you its lovely look;
You kept your interest in its thrilling book;
To you, Death came, no conqueror, in the end---
You merely smiled to great another friend.
