Marriage6 Oct 1869 She married Francis Merion Shultz, son of William Shultz and Becky (?), on 6 Oct 1869 in Savanna, Carroll County, Illinois.4 
  Florence and Francis spent the bulk of their married life in Carroll County. Florence submitted information to a Moffat family organization in 1907 in which she listed the communities of Lanark and Chadwick in Illinois as well as "Iowa" as the places she had resided. Lanark and Chadwick are in Carroll County, but I have not found any record of when and where she lived in Iowa. She also stated that Francis was a farmer and hotel keeper.

The 1870 and 1880 census recorded Francis and Florence farming in Salem township (Carroll County) with their 3 children. In 1900 they were enumerated in Chadwick. Three boarders lived in the home. Francis was employed as a carpenter.5,6,7,1 
Death8 Jun 1928 Florence died on 8 Jun 1928 in Chadwick, Carroll County, Illinois, at age 77.8
