Elizabeth Horn was a daughter of Robert Coleman Horn and Sallie "Sarah" Chadwick. There were seventeen children in her family and she was the tenth child.

Her father Robert, served as a color bearer with Company D, 45th Alabama Infantry. Thankfully he survived the war and returned home or she wouldn't have been born!

Lizzie married William Henry Kelley sometime in 1890 in Alabama. They had a family of eleven children and raised them in Geneva County, Alabama.

While Lizzie was a small woman, she was tough. She killed a rattlesnake when she was in her nineties. Lizzie liked to dance a jig and there is a picture of her dancing when she was quite old.

According to a newspaper article at the time of Lizzie's death, she left 220 direct descendants.
