At the age of 16 Miriam was married to Jacob Loebstein, a cattle dealer. She was fortunate enough to live a life in modest prosperity and without the great tragedy that befell so many other women: The loss of their children at an early age. She even lived to see her eldest grandchildren grow up.

Of her nine children, her daughter Voegele had married David Loeb Fleischer, a butcher who ran the "Ochsen" inn. Her three eldest sons had established themselves as cattle dealers and peddlers. Babette was to marry a well-established merchant.

When Miriam died, her youngest son was seven years old. Her husband did not remarry. Eventually Miriam's four youngest children left for America.

Jonathan Regensburger, who was buried next to her, was Miriam's brother-in-law.
