Elizabeth James Cocking was the daughter of John Cocking and Mary James, all of whom were born in Cornwall, England. In 1872, Elizabeth married Matthew Wilkin Argall in New Jersey. The following year, they moved West to Grass Valley, California, where they lived for the rest of their lives until Matthew's passing in 1913. They had three children: Elizabeth Mary Argall (1874-1939) who married William Broad; Matthew Henry Argall (1875-1955) who married Nina Laity; and William John Argall (1877-1953) who married Florence Battenberg. An article written in the Morning Union after her passing in January 11, 1929 stated that Elizabeth was "one of the most active women of her age in the community" where she lived on lower Mill Street. The news article stated that "she was able to walk around and make a pretense of housework until early this week." Elizabeth Argall had been a member of Rebekah Lodge No. 9, and Aurora Chapter No. 40, Order of the Eastern Star. She was also a weekly attendant of Emmanuel Episcopal Church. She was interred with her husband Matthew Argall at the Masonic Cemetery.
