General Notes
Elizabeth was born 23 May 1875 in Noble, Richland County, Illinois, USA. She was the daughter of Thomas MAGLONE and Matilda HEATHER.
Elizabeth first married John H. NELSON in Richland County, Illinois on 23 March 1895. John was the son of Frank and Angeline Nelson. There were seven children from their union, but only three daughters survived to adulthood. Elizabeth and John lived in Illinois early in their marriage (probably in Richland and Clay Counties), then later moved to Indiana — the 1900 census found them in Owensville, Gibson County, Indiana, USA.
First born was Matilda "Tillie" Permelia Nelson (1895 –1982), then Versa Elizabeth Nelson (1898 –1956), Ralph Martin Nelson (1899 –1900), Bertha Ann Nelson (1901–1902), and Addie May Nelson (b. about 1904). In 1906 a baby boy was born in Owensville, Indiana who lived for only 5 days. There was no name on the death certificate. Their last child was Nora Murl Nelson (1908 –1909), who born in Arkansas but died in Owensville, Indiana.
Lizzie's husband John died in Montgomery Township, Gibson County, Indiana (near Owensville) on 12 March 1910. By the 1910 census, which was enumerated a month later on 15 April 1910, Elizabeth and her remaining three daughters were back in Sailor Springs, Clay County, Illinois, USA. Now the head of her household, Lizzie worked as a hotel laundress.
By 1920, when the census was taken, Elizabeth was still in Sailor Springs, living as a companion to another widow. Later that year, Elizabeth married her second husband, Harry Herbert SCHOTT. Harry was the son of Samuel Schott and Matilda Ann Taylor; he had been married several times (twice before Lizzie, and again after her death). Harry and Elizabeth moved to the Mount Vernon area in Jefferson County, Illinois, and remained there until Elizabeth's death on 28 Aug 1939. Elizabeth was buried in Bethel Memorial Cemetery on 30 Aug 1939. Harry remarried, and died nearly 7 years later on 16 Aug 1946; he was buried in a different cemetery in Mount Vernon.
