Eliza Botsford was a daughter of William and Sarah Lowell Botsford. According to the memoir of her brother, "Memoir of LeBaron Botsford, M.D.," she was born after LeBaron. "Eliza was a pretty little creature, the pet and favorite of all who knew her." During her brother's first winter in Saint John he was "much occupied by attendance" on her, "who had been brought from Westcock in the last stages of consumption. Nothing could be done to prolong the sweet young life, yet her brother's daily visits were a comfort to both body and mind. After some months of suffering she passed away in perfect peace." The year was 1841 and she was 24.
Around 2009, the Botsford plot was renovated, including this memorial.
