She married Barney Beadel 4 February 1869 in Marshalltown, Iowa.
The Beadel family moved to Northport, Stevens Co., Washington in 1901 and established a homestead.
They later moved to Sumner, Washington.
I have never been able to find this family in census records. I suspect it was spelled differently by the enumerator.

From 1934 letters from Flora (Phillips) Beadell to Edith (Arne) Phillips:
"... I was only fourteen when mother [Almira (Knapp) Phillips] died, and Edgar (?) was only three or four months old when father died.* Father [Edgar E. Phillips] was born in New York State, and I think his mother (my grandmother) [Tamar (Walker) Phillips] was born there, too, but do not know. I do not know the nationality of Grandfather [Ezra G.] Phillips, but have often heard Grandma talk of a large Hotel they owned and operated in Utica, New York. Grandfather [Ezra G. Phillips] died while father [Edgar E. Phillips] was a young man, and grandma [Tamar (Walker) Phillips] married a Baptist minister [William taylor].
"My mother's people is only partly known to me. Grandmother Knapp [mother of Almira (Knapp) Phillips] was an English Lady in her youth. She was Lady Elizabeth Buzzard. Her brother (mother's uncle) was Lord John Buzzard, and Mother was born in Canada. Her [Almira (Knapp) Phillips'] mother [Elizabeth (Buzzard) Knapp] died when she was fourteen. Grandfather [Amos] Knapp moved to Michigan and used to visit Schoolcraft, Mich. where we lived on a farm. He finally sold out and went to Winona, Minn., with Uncle john [Knapp], Mother's brother who was named after Lord John [Buzzard]. They are all dead and gone now.
*It is unclear who this Edgar was. If "father" meant Flora's father, then there must have been an infant Edgar Phillips born in 1870 (never found mention of that). Edgar (b. 1826) was about 10 when his father died. And Edgar's son, Foster (b. 1867) was about three years old when his father, Edgar, died.
