In 1853 she came with her parents to America and settled at Watertown, Jefferson county Wisconsin. On May 15, 1859 she was married to Herman Oesterreich. Three days later the happy couple, with others, started the long journey to Kansas. After six week of travel by ox wagon they arrived at Lyon's Creek, Kansas, near where Woodbine now stands, where her husband had previously settled on a 160 acre farm.

Twelve children. were born in this home, seven sons and five daughters. Three of these died in infancy and Mrs. Mattie Tiegs at Mature age. Soon after their marriage and arrival in Kansas, Mr.

and Mrs. Oesterreich united with the German M. E. church at Lyona, then known as part of the Fort Riley mission, with Rev. Charles Stueckman as pastor.
