At a very early age she moved with her parents from Council Bluffs to White Lake, South Dakota. She lived at White Lake until 1905 when in company with her father and another sister, she filed on a homestead near Okaton, South Dakota and made proof the following summer. She returned to White Lake and in April, 1908 was married to Alfons Wetterer of Kimball living on a farm near that place until the spring of 1913. In the spring of that year they moved on a farm south of Reliance and remained there until the fall of 1919 when they sold out and a few weeks later purchased the Oacoma Hotel.
