The following is all taken from the 1986 McPherson Co. book:

Mary took out a homestead close to her parents' home in western McPherson County, Nebraska. [She and Hugh] lived on a farm near Hyannis, Nebraska, and later lived on a farm in Hooker County, about 13 miles north of Tryon, Nebraska. Then they moved to Seneca, NE, where Elmer worked for the Burlington Railroad in the shops. In 1912 they moved back to their farm.

After Elmer died, Mary moved into Tryon in 1919 and Mary took in boarders. In 1925, she moved to North Platte, Nebraska. In 1934 she and daughter Clara moved back to Tryon and Clara taught school. Years later, they moved to Benedict, Nebraska where they resided and Clara taught for 19 years.

Mary and Clara returned to Tryon again. Clara got a teaching position in the public schools at Chappell, Nebraska. Mary sold her home and moved to Chappell. Clara retired from teaching while living in Chappell.

Census: 1920, McPherson Co., Nebraska
