In 1890, she married Charles A Greene.^[1] By 1900, they had had 4 children, with 3 surviving and in the home.^[2] They had 3 additional children between 1900 and 1910, but son Paul had died before 1910. ^[3]

She and Charley continued to live in Clay Township until their deaths. Elizabeth died March 13, 1936, of myocardial degeneration and was buried at Hedding Road Chapel Cemetery in Spencer, Owen County, Indiana.
