Biography
1880 Drew Co census (Crook Twp; 549A) 200 202 Grubbs, Elizabeth 51 Grubbs, Jane daughter 20 Grubbs, Elizabeth daughter 18 Grubbs, Lyddia daughter 14 Grubbs, Wylie L. son 13 Living next door to grandparents, Green B and Bashaba Jackson
1900 Drew Co AR census (Crook Twp) - image 9 of 13: 78 78 Rodgers, Elizabeth 38 born Oct 1861 Rodgers, Richard son 18 born Dec 1881 Rodgers, Henry son 17 born April 1883
1910 Drew Co AR census (Crook Twp) - image 11 of 18: Rodgers, Lizzie 48 Rodgers, Richard son 28 Living near Lee and Bertha Grubbs Rodgers and son Lloyd; and Elisha C and Carolina Jones Grubbs and children Ardell (Ada in 1930 census), Lottie, Pharis and Robert.
Milton and Lizzie were 16 and 19 when they married. Milton, his brother Henry Street Rodgers, and Lizzie's mother, Elizabeth Jackson Grubbs died within two months of each other, all from the same disease, probably typhoid or cholera. Lizzie used to say her husband was buried on her 21st birthday, which would have been Oct 12, 1882. If that date is correct, then she was pregnant with their 2nd child when Milton died. However, all the other information I have, including the family Bible, is more consistent with October 1883. Lizzie was buried in Beulah Cemetery.
