Little is known about this family, however, an obituary provided by a member of the family does reveal some things.
Elizabeth, according to her obituary, led an unusually active life, sharing in the "work, joys and sorrows as a faithful pastor's wife" until her husband's retirement in 1902. After her husband's death in 1919, her declining years were spent in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her daughter, Selma, until three months before her death, when Mother and daughter moved to Newburg, Indiana.
A niece, Mrs. Alma Walker, remembers her cousins, Jake, Sam and Dan, who visited in their home in St. Louis while they were attending Pharmacy School and Eden Seminary there.
Elizabeth's obituary says funeral services were held in Newburgh, Indiana, July 10, 1942, with burial in Fairmount Cemetery, Huntingburg, Indiana. It also mentions that there were 33 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren.
