Re: Goldiec, yes, she married a man who was impressed by her skills.
When she was fifteen, Annie Oakley went to Cincinnati to compete against marksman Frank E. Butler. He traveled around the country challenging people to shoot competitions. During the competition, Oakley shot all twenty-five shots, and Butler missed one, making Oakley the winner. Butler was impressed by her skills, and soon they began courting. They were married on August 23, 1876.
