Elizabeth S. Hill

Elizabeth was born 9 February 1880. She lived for a time in New York state.  As a child she went across country in a covered wagon.  She was a fiesty youngster. Her nanny locked her in the closet one day for unbecoming conduct.  A short while later she asked Elizabeth if she was ready to come out and behave. Elizabeth replied, "No, I will let you know when I am ready to."  Spirit like this kept her alert in her later years.

She married Harry  Hill and they moved to Eustis.  Their home overlooked  Lake Gracie, with a meandering shoreline near downtown Eustis.  She was a member of  First Presbyterian Church.  She also was a member of Chapter C., P.E.O. Sisterhood in Eustis.  She enjoyed many hours playing bridge.  

On her 100th birthday, February 9, 1980, many friends gathered for a birthday party at her home given by her friends. Upon arrival they discovered their honoree was absent.  That morning she had arisen in pain.  Her trip to the emergency room turned into an emergency appendectomy and a longer stay in the hospital.  She never liked her name and always went by Elizabeth.

Elizabeth died in October of 1980.
