王德政妻郭氏，大名人。 Guo, wife of Wang Dezheng, was from Daming.

時德政教授里中，年四十餘，貌甚古陋，張氏以貧不能教二子，欲納德政為婿，使教之。 At the time Dezheng taught in the village. He was over forty and very plain in appearance. Zhang, too poor to educate her two sons, wished to take Dezheng as a son-in-law so he could teach them.

既婚，與德政相敬如賓，囑教二弟有成。 After marriage she and Dezheng treated each other with the respect of guests, and urged that her two younger brothers be educated to success.

未幾德政卒，郭氏年方二十餘，勵節自守，甚有貞名。 Before long Dezheng died. Guo was just over twenty. She upheld her integrity and kept herself chaste, earning a great reputation for fidelity.
