She was married in her native town to John Alderson in 1847. Their five eldest children, Jonathan, Thomas, James, George and Alice were born there. In 1862 they bid farewell to their friends and their dear old England home, and in the steamer Hiberniam sailed for the shores of America, landing at Quebec, taking the first train again started this time stopping at Shullsburg, Wisconsin. Here another daughter, Elizabeth, was born. After two years they moved to Nora, Illinois. Here two more sons, John and William were added to the family. After three years they moved again; this time to Argyle, Wisconsin, where they lived for 11 years. While there another daughter, Lucinda, came to bless the household. On December 27, 1876, the husband and father died, leaving Mrs. Alderson with nine children to fight life's battles, and guide safely the nine life-boats on and through many a dangerous pass up to manhood and womanhood. God fitted the back for the burden and she succeeded nobly. Mrs. Alderson and her children left Argyle in 1879 moving to Seney, Iowa. In 1885 they came to Antelope County, Nebraska, and on the then wild and unbroken home making it to blossom like the rose. Five years ago at Page, Nebraska, a daughter, Elizabeth Alderson Morissey, died leaving two little boys, George and Earl, who were immediately taken into Grandmother's household, where they still live. The eight children, who survive their angel Mother were all by her bedside during her sickness and death and helped to care for the one who loved them most. Her Christian life was beyond reproach. An hour and a half prior to her death she sang, "Jesus Lover of My Soul," and then sang "I Am Washed in the Blood of the Lamb," and so quietly and peacefully passed into the Beyond, that none but those nearest her could tell the exact moment of her demise.
