She's paying $18 a month for rent. She does not own a radio and gives her age as 66. She is working as a domestic in a private home. Living with her is her grandson Russel Craighead, 21 and his wife Merle, 19. He is an employee at a printing office, and she is working in the shoe factory. After Nathan's death in 1912, Eliza moved into Fulton and continued to take care of her family. She raised her grandson John Russel Craighead, and worked hard the rest of her life, cleaning other people's houses. Eliza was a survivor. She buried 8 of her children, her husband committed suicide one month after the loss of their 6th child. She continued on for 29 years after his death, doing her best to support her family and taking care of everyone. She outlived all 10 of her brother's and sisters. I was born 10 years after my great grandmother's death. I am sorry I never knew this remarkable woman. (Medical):Cause of death, Senile Gangrene. Didn't know exactly what this meant so I looked it up in the Glossary of Archaic Medical Terms, Diseases and Causes of Death; Dry gangrene occurring in the aged in consequence of occlusion of an artery, particularly affecting the extremities.
