After her divorce, she came into full possession of all land and assets and continued to raise the minor children on the rapidan farm. She threw out her husband and attempted to carry on with her life at age 50. She is devote Lutheran church goer. Sometime in 1905-07, the family moves to a Medo farm near Mapleton (Fred Seefeldt) and live here until Sept. 1917 after Paul’s death and they move to Litchfield area to own a farm and be close to the Berndts.
