Biography

Elizabeth was born in 16 Apr 1845 and was baptized 11 May 1845 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Hurley, Ulster County, New York. She was the daughter of Simon Ostrander and Jane Lefever.

In 1855, at age 10, the household consisted of her parents, her, her four siblings, a 16 year old Irish immigrant servant girl, and 9 boarders ranging from age 18 to age 28. The 9 consisted of a teacher, a student, a shoe dealer, and 5 clerks. In this particular census, her father Simon is listed as merchant, now paralyzed.

In 1860, at age 15, the household consisted of her parents, her and her four siblings, and three (presumably unrelated) teenagers; probably servants or boarders.
