Etta Muller married young and handsome Jack Muller, the landowner's son of her father's farm in Virginia.  But this wasn't a marriage made from a whirlwind romance and love. A year before she became a bride, her father's farm was struck by disaster and her family became bankrupt.  The landowner promised they could keep the land if Etta married his son into the family.  And that's how her life as a bachelor's bride began.
