Elizabeth Gibbons was born the daughter of John Gibbons and Ann Lambdon in New Plymouth in 1859.
When she was a child Eliza jumped from a foot-stool and fell on landing, breaking a bone in her hip. As a result, she always walked with a crutch.
In 1883 Eliza married Robert Climo.
Robert and Eliza went to live at Halcombe and their first child, Cora Eliza died when only a baby. Their next two children, Dora and Eva were also born in Halcombe.
The family moved on to Rata where William Robert James, Charles Walter and Esmond Roy were born.
Not long after their eldest daughter Dora was married to David Henderson, Eliza suffered an attack of appendicitis and as the doctor could not operate that night because of a lack of light, they had to wait until morning. Unfortunately, this proved fatal and Eliza died just before dawn.
Eliza and Robert are interred at Mt.View Cemetery in Marton.
