In the year 1870 she became the bride of Joseph Novotny and in 1880 Mr. and Mrs. Novotny and five small children moved to the United States and settled west of Ord in Valley county. Four more children were born to the union after their immigration to America.

Two years later his widow moved from the farm to Shawnee, Okla, and in 1919 she came to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joe Risan, where she made her home until her death. She had not been very well for quite a period before her last illness.
