She married Seth Carson and moved with him to Fillmore County when she was 30 years old in 1852. The couple settled in Jordan Township. She was the grandmother of the donor, Mrs. Alice Groen who would also make a name for herself with her husband in the Chatfield area. The picture is housed in a wooden frame with a light varnish and some gold painted decorative pieces outlining the picture.
