Lizzie was married to Andrew S. Hill in 1856. They moved to Kansas in 1872. Andrew and Lizzie had seven children:
- Child #1 who was born and died between 1856-1860 in Ringgold, Jefferson Co. PA
- Child #2 who was born and died between 1856-1860 in Ringgold, Jefferson Co. PA
- Phyluria Anna "Lulu" (Hill) McFarland Moore (1861-1898)

Two obituaries for Lizzie were kept in the Totten family Bible:
"Mrs. Hill will be remembered as a former resident of El Dorado, only having removed to Pennsylvania in Sept., 1888. The deceased was a great sufferer from that dreaded disease cancer, which was the cause of her death. Her life was a beautiful example of the Christian religion. Her sufferings were borne with great patience and Death's summons was no cause for alarm to her, for underneath were 'the everlasting arms.' She leaves a family of five children, two of which are in Pennsylvania and three in Kansas, to mourn her loss. 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.'"
"DIED - At Brookville, Pa. on January 5th, 1889, Mrs. Elizabeth C. Hill, aged 52 years, 9 months and 27 days. Mrs. Hill was the daughter of Hamlet Totten, of Rural Valley. She was born in Kittanning March 8, 1836. Her early life was spent in the vicinity of Rural Valley. She was baptized by Dr. Painter and became a member of the Rural Valley Presbyterian Church at the age of 23. She was known as a very faithful follower of Christ and untiring in her devotion to her family that her children might be brought up in the knowledge and love of Christ. In the suffering, pain and sorrow of her last year on earth she was sustained and supported by an unfaltering trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. She said just before the last moment that all fear had been taken away, and now her warfare over, her triumph complete, she is surely in the very midst of the heavenly kingdom. She died at the home of her sister, Mrs. L. Ewing, in Brookville, where services were held by Rev. S. J. Glass, the pastor, and her body was conveyed to Rural Valley for interment. Here funeral services were held by Rev. N. B. Kelly and the remains followed to the grave by a large concourse of friends."
An obituary, written by her sister Sarah, was printed in the Jeffersonian-Democrat, Brookville, Jefferson Co. PA on 16 Jan 1889:
"Died at the residence of her sister, Mrs. J. L. Ewing, in Brookville, Pa., Saturday, January 5, 1889, in the 53rd year of her age.
"Mrs. Hill was born in Kittanning, Pa., but removed with her parents to Rural Village, where the earlier portion of her life was spent, and where she united with the Presbyterian church. After her marriage, in 1856, she removed to Jefferson county and settled in Ringgold, where two children were born and where they died and were buried. In 1860 she again removed to Centerville, Elk county, where four children were born. In 1872, the line of march was again taken up, and she, with her family, emigrated to Eldorado, Kas., where three of her children still reside. Last April whe was taken very ill with an incurable disease, but from which she had long been suffering, and for a time her life hung in the balance. She rallied, however, and was able to be around, but knowing that her life at best would not be long, the one desire of her heart seemed to be to come East and die at the old home. In September, 1888, she came to Pittsburgh, to the home of a daughter, but became too ill to make the journey home, a part of which had to be made by carriage. In November she came to Brookville in company with her youngest child, a daughter born in Kansas, and for a short time her health appeared to improve, but soon hemmorrhage set in and it became apparent that the end was approaching. The summons did not surprise her. Her hope was firmly established on the sure foundation and her faith strong. In speaking of death her only fear was for her last struggle; but even that fear was taken away and the prayers offered on her behalf were heard; her end was peaceful and painless. She has entered upon her inheritance. Her life here was a checkered one - many sorrows with but few pleasures; but no sadness, no sorrow can reach her now. She has joined her little ones in the Spirit land; where hope is exchanged for glad fruition, and faith is lost in sight.
"On Sabbath, January 6, religious services were held at the home of J. L. Ewing, conducted by Rev. S. J. Glass, and appropriate music was rendered by the Baptist choir. On Monday the body was taken to Rural Village, to the home of Mrs. Hill's father, Mr. Totten, an old man of 87 years. Services were held in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Kelly, after which the body was laid to rest in the old cemetery to enjoy that peaceful sleep that knows no earthly waking. -- SISTER"
