Elizabeth married William Henry Alders on September 12, 1890 in Wymore, Nebraska at St. Bridgets Church. Together, they had 5 children.
Elizabeth's Granddaughter, Kathryn Alders Svoboda, shared the following stories about Elizabeth;
I'd get a nickel out of the spice cabinet drawer, this was when we didn't have any cows as they got a disease and died, walk a half-mile to buy 2 half gallon syrup buckets of milk from a farmer. She had the pioneers reverence for wood, knowing all that it could mean in eking out an existence. She used to tell me there were very few trees in those days. If they burned other than cow chips in their log cabin stove, it meant an overnight trip with team and wagon to a site by the river. She would tell me how wood was the basic need of each home before the arrival of winter. She never talked about her education, I wonder?
Elizabeth died on March 23, 1942 at age of 76 in Lady Gray home in Beatrice, Nebraska per her obituary. She was buried March 25, 1942 in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Barneston, Nebraska, Lot 28 next to her husband, William Alders. (Funeral home was EJ Miller funeral home who shared that she was buried 3-29-1942 at St. Josephs Cemetery in Barneston, Ne. lot 28.)
