[1] “Obituary,” The Star Press (Muncie, Indiana), 18 December 1901, p. 6, col. 4. Elizabeth’s obituary states that she was born in Darke County, Ohio. In 1820, her father Jacob was enumerated in Jefferson Township, Montgomery County, Ohio. While Darke County boarders the northwest portion of Montgomery County, it is more likely that she was born in Montgomery County since that is where the family lived.
