Elizabeth came with her mother to Dallas in May 1856 to join her father, who had come to this country the preceding year as one of the colonists who settled what was known as La Reunion, some four miles west of Dallas. On July 22, 1856, she married Henry Boll. She was the mother of ten children. Her surviving daughters were Mrs. June Peak of Shackelford County, Mrs. E. Arnoldi of Sherman, and Misses Annie and Lizzie Boll of Dallas. Her surviving sons were Jacob, Henry Jr., Charles, and William Boll, all of Dallas.

She was a loving, kind and affectionate wife and mother, and discharged every duty devolved on her in those relations in a most beautiful and gracious manner. She was a most warm-hearted, faithful friend, and kindly and charitable lady. She was a member of the Eastern Star and Good Samaritan lodges, adjuncts of the Masonic fraternity. She was confirmed as a member of the German Reformed Evangelical church in Switzerland in 1856, and died in that faith after a long and painful illness, which she bore with Christian resignation and fortitude.

Funeral services were at St. Paul's German Evangelical Church at the corner of Liberty and Texas streets.

There is a very interesting article about Elizabeth and Henry in The Dallas Morning News, February 27, 1948, titled "Back-yard Burials, Not Murder Cases."
