She gave her heart and hand in Holy Wedlock to the Rev. Lastie Newton on December 20, 1888. With him she shared the romance, the toil and tears, of the itinerant Methodist Ministry for well over a half century. While he preached, Mother prayed, and who knows who played the nobler part.

Since her companion departed this life on February 10, 1950, she has had the companionship and loving care of her daughter, Mrs. Hettie Bankston.

Two of her children also preceded her in death; Ruel Thomas in 1902 and Mrs. Elena Hicks in 1945.
