Initially, she lived there with her sons, Guy (1868–1930), Ralph (1872–1928), and Maurice (1878–1934). Guy Hyde Chick would go on to become a civil engineer, realtor and real estate developer in Berkeley, CA. He also had the distinction of commissioning the Guy Chick House from the noted architect Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957) in 1914.
