Mary Love and John Nichol Irwin produced four children:
1. Alice Irwin Kendrick (Mrs. Rolla M. Kendrick), of Ferguson & Saint Louis, Missouri
2. Elizabeth (Mary) Stephanie Irwin, who lived with her mother in Keokuk and later married Joshua Elder
3. Stephen Irwin, who died at an early age (nearly 4 years old)
4. John Rankin Irwin, who was Keokuk Postmaster and Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives. John inherited and lived at the family's 633 Grand Avenue home, now listed on the National Park Register of Historic Places.
During the thirty years or so that Mary survived her husband, there was no doubt of the strong family leadership by Mary, affectionately called "Gannie" by all the descendants of her own children. During that period, she was often on the go, involved in book clubs, parties, foreign travel, visiting relatives, etc.
First Lady of Idaho Territory, 1883-1883; First Lady of Arizona Territory, 1890-1892.
Buried on Apr 21, 1961 in a copper vault by DeJong Funeral Home.
