June 11, 1857 she was united in marriage to Sylvester Alden and moved to Tama county, IA in May 1858, where she lived about 15 years, enduring all the hardships of pioneer life. To this union were born four children, GD Alden, Mrs AH Palmer and Mrs CM Ryan, all of Newburg, and Charles U Alden, who died April 27, 1867, aged 3 years. In the fall of 1864 her husband was drafted and went to war. He joined Sherman in the march to the sea, ad was taken sick at Savannah, CA and left in the hospital there, where he died January 7, 1865, leaving her to fight life's battle along for herself and children in a new country where poverty was the common lot of all. June 4, 1878, she was married to Lorenzo Clifford, who died in less than four years, leaving her a soldier's widow the second time with a little stepdaughter who she reared in her home as her own child. She gave her heart to God when a child and after she came to Iowa she united with the United Brethren church and continued there until the class disbanded soon after the war, when she united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Montour until she moved to Newburg where she united with the Congregational church and remained a faithful member until death. She was a kind and loving mother and no sacrifice was too great for the good of her family. She was a kind neighbor and always ready to help in sorrow and affliction. Her health was broken down in the prime of life and she was a great sufferer for a number o f years, often bearing pain that it seemed was unendurable, but she bore all without a murmur and the last few years, it was her desire to depart and join the love ones gone on before. Funeral services were conducted by her former pastor, Rev. RF Lavender of Wittemburg, assisted by the present pastor, Rev. HL Wissler, at the Congregational church in Newburg and interment in the cemetery at Montour, her former home. Relatives from abroad who attended the funeral were Cyrus Doty, wife and son of Clarkesville and another son, CE Alden of Dunbar, John Alden of Montour, Earl Doty of Toledo, Mesdames Wm. Machen of Clarksville, and Jas. Brown of Eldora and, A. G. Swift and wife of Grinnell. Others were John Walker and Wife, WH McCulloch and wife, Howard Morris and Paul Esler of Grinnell, Mrs. Rebecca Hite, Mrs. Fred Hite and son, Elgin, and Miss Mildred Elliott, of Gilman.
