She was united in marriage at the home of her parents in east Osceola, on March 31, 1906, to Mr. Kay Garris. The ceremony took place at 7:00 p.m., Rev. S.D. Harlan officiating, and Miss Marcia Smith and Mr. Edward Bowman as attendants. "The bride and groom are well respected members of the community. On Sunday evening a reception was given at the home of the groom's parents. The Woodburn band, of which Mr. Garris is a member, gave them an appropriate serenade. They were the recipients of many useful presents. They will take immediate possession of Mr. Garris' father's farm 2-1/2 miles northwest of Woodburn". They farmed in the Woodburn area until 1927, when they moved to Osceola and Kay went into the coal and bottle gas business. They were members of the Christian Church at Woodburn. She was a member of the Loyal Daughters Sunday School class and the Jolly Fifteen club. They were always willing to give a helping hand to a friend or stranger. The motto over the door of their home read, "He who enters is but a stranger once". from family information and obituary, The Tribune, Osceola, December 11, 1962.
