Lizzie was the fifth of at least 10 children born in the United States to parents, John Adam Knüpfer and Catherine Barbara Disque, who were born in Germany. She married George McClellan Batchelor when she was 18. She gave birth to seven or eight children before dying of what has been reported as a self-inflicted abortion at age 42. Her death year may have been 1909, rather than 1910 which is recorded on her headstone.
Her father, known as Adam, was probably buried in the Petersburg Cemetery, but no record of that has been found as far as is known.
