In 1885, she married Duncan Joseph Robertson & they had 3 children: William, Isabella, & Stuart. William died as an infant & Isabella died at age 8. Duncan soon separated from the family & died a few years later. In 1901, while living in Toronto, she answered a request for a "mail order" bride from John Durand of Indus, MN. She came to Indus in 1904 & she & John were married. Her son Stuart came to Indus at age 12 & grew up there. Indus was Isabel's home for the rest of her life. John & Isabel had built a large house on the Rainy River. After Stuart married Veta Peggar, the young family lived in the big house & John & Isabel lived in a small house across the road. Stuart & Veta had 6 children before Veta's early death. The children remember Isabel & John fondly as kind & helpful grandparents during their youth. After John's death in 1942, Isabel was married to Charles Endicott for a few years before her death in 1948. She was buried near John in the Indus Cemetery. Cemetery, I. et al.
