At age seventeen she married </p><p>Wilson Burnside and they lived just one mile from her old home. Here </p><p>Wilson taught the home school. When she was twenty years old she and her </p><p>husband joined the Methodist Church. In the mean time her parents had </p><p>moved to Franklinville, (Elgin) Illinois. In May, 1847 they decided to </p><p>go there too. They went by boat through the lakes to Chicago. Wilson and </p><p>their two children, Viola and Harley, became sick from the journey.
