Born in Ohio, she moved, when about 3 years old, with her parents to Pike county, Ill. She spent the early part of her life here, and in 1867 was married to George Halstead, of Kinderhook. They immigrated to Sherman county, Kansas, and then to Grand Island, Nebraska, where her remains have found their last resting place. Those left to mourn her death are her husband, daughter and two sons, all of Grand Island; two sisters, Mrs. Virginia A. Halstead of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Marinda Reeves, of Barry, Ill.; and an uncle, Charles Halsey, of New Canton, Ill; Rufus and Margaret Worthen, parents of the deceased, and four brothers preceded her in death in Pike county. Had the deceased lived until December 3, 1900, she would have been 53 years old." (I am not related to Mrs. Halstead. - Gerri)
