Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hopper LANCY was born August 05, 1861 in Marblehead, Essex Co., MA - died February 04, 1940 in Marblehead, Essex Co., MA and buried in Marblehead Cemetery, Marblehead Lot no. 559-Section No. 5 Walnut Ave.
Elizabeth was the third child left to Mother's care when Father went to War in 1862.
Mother got along by stitching shows. I know very little except that she was the baby during the war. On 29 Apr 1865 she was looking out the window, and she said," There is a man in our yard." She didn't recognize it was Father, just out of the Navy. Lizzie was working in the shoe shop when I knew her first. She had been to Kansas with the Wormsteads and the minister who was to preach in Kansas, Dr. Williams. She lived there for a while and ate sparingly and lived through a tornado by staying in a coal bin for shelter. She came to our house in a horse drawn carriage. She went as a servant to some people who were relation to a Freeman girl who was a pal of Lizzie. In Leominster, Dodd I think the name was, and a daughter married and came to Marblehead to live. Then she came home and went to work in John's factory. She lived to be 87, and died well off, $20,000.
