In 1854, in order to live less expensively, Soule moved her family to a log cabin in Boonsboro, Iowa. In 1856 Soule married Ardon Benjamin Holcomb (Born June 23, 1804 in North Granby, Hartford, Connecticut; died September 29, 1879), a lawyer, and they had one son, Sumner White Holcomb (born August 29, 1857). In 1856 Henry Bacon, editor of the Ladies' Repository (published by Tompkins), made _her_ corresponding editor. Bacon's successor, Carolyn Sawyer, appointed Soule assistant editor, 1861-65. <sep>, Pronoun: her <sep>, A: Carolyn Sawyer <sep>, B: Soule
