I hope you and your brother are able to learn that she did, indeed, remain in the home of her brother after he remarried. She seems not to have changed much with age except that her hair turned grey.

She certainly had a heart of gold, and she carried out very important duties, for the lives of so many. The footprints she has left behind are from shoes many folks could never fill as well. I do hope to discover more later if you uncover anything else.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-1037303368419637352014-06-07T11:09:19.145-07:002014-06-07T11:09:19.145-07:00What an interesting collection of information on G...What an interesting collection of information on G.Aunt Lizzie. You are fortunate to know that much, and it looks likely that more can be discerned about her later years. Good luck on that. And all else failing, invent your own story. (I heard that gasp! Of course you'll note that it's fiction!) But why not? I think you're right that she stayed in the home with her brother.
