Biography

Eliza was born about 1847. She passed away in 1923. Her obituary says she was buried in Mckenzie, Alabama, but I cannot find her FindAGrave Memorial.

On the 1920 census, she claims 4 children and says three are still living. Currently, I'm only able to account for two.

In 1880, she lives with her sister with two children - the youngest one is a baby. ^[1]

Notes

All census records point to her birth in 1847-1848. However, her obituary says she was 82 in 1923, which would make her birth 1841. Her death certificate lists her birth as 1843^[2]
