When I took this photo on 19 February 1996, Elizabeth’s tombstone was uptight and much more legible than it is today.
This is another line where data is very limited, typical of all research in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Newspapers of the time period are non-existence. Searches on Chronicling America and GenealogyBank have turned up negative results.
This is long before Death Certificates were mandatory within the state which was enacted in 1915 but, not fully implemented until 1916.
The only remaining resource for finding any mention of her death other than the tombstone in Zoar Cemetery is possibly historical records of the Zoar United Methodist Church at the United Methodist Archives and History Center of the United Methodist Church in Madison, New Jersey.
I welcome any suggestions of resources that might contain a death date. Just post your comments in the form below. Thanks.
