"Nothing is known of Grandma Haviland's life after she left New Jersey until she and husband Clarence separated late in 1904 at Ponca, Nebraska. Clarence kept Verlie, the 6 year old son. Grandma took Clara, age 10 and Queen, age 8 and left Ponca early in 1905.
Lizzie or "L C" as she was known and her daughters lived in the Fred Prell home at Foley, Nebraska for a time. She did the house work and cared for the motherless Prell children. Her girls went to Pleasant Hill school with the Prell children. Clara and Flossie Prell were near the same age and became life long friends.
Lizzie worked as a seamstress. She traveled from home to home twice each year, in the spring and again in the fall, to make the families clothing for the coming season. She lived-in at each place for two or three weeks, or until the families clothing needs were finished.
Lizzie and Queen moved to Silver Creek, Nebraska where they operated the "Railroad Hotel" and dining room. It was here that Queen and Floyd Lohr were married.
Lizzie suffered with asthma and believed that moving to a higher altitude would ease her suffering. Son Verlie had enlisted in the Army when World War I broke out. He returned to his father's home in South Dakota after the war. In the fall of 1923 Clarence died and Verlie then came to his mothers home and they moved to Colorado in 1924. He built a little house at the foot of the Rockies, north of Arvada, in 1926.
Lizzie worked during the summers as a cook in mining camps at Leadville, Gunnison and Golden as long as she was able. Later, while living with Verlie she continued to enjoy sewing, embroidering and quilting. She pieced Flower Garden quilts from woolen scraps for each of her grandchildren, until she could no longer see to do it.
In 1942, Grandma could no longer care for herself because of poor health and nearly blind. Queen and Verlie took her to California where she was cared for in a nursing home at Modesto until her death, July 27, 1944.
Grandma Haviland was truly a liberated woman many years before her time."
