In 1930, she is living with her sister, Lucy Sitton. She is listed as Eliza Gilpin, widow. 1930 United States Federal Census about Eliza Gilpin Name: Eliza Gilpin Home in 1930: Cote Sans Dessein, Callaway, Missouri Age: 74 Estimated birth year: abt 1856 Birthplace: Missouri Relation to Head of House: Sister Race: White Household Members: Name Age Lucy A Sitton 80 Eliza Gilpin 74 Source Citation: Year: 1930; Census Place: Cote Sans Dessein, Callaway, Missouri; Roll: 1180; Page: 5A; Enumeration District: 8; Image: 51.0. She must have been only visiting, she died in Kansas. Still odd that she was listed as a widow in 1930 since cemetery records and an old obit for her husband show that he died in 1933. I have now received information from the Sedan Kansas historical society. They sent an obit and the record from the funeral home. The record is where her date of birth was listed. It also stated she was buried in Monett Kansas, and the Hist. Soc. told me that the cemetery in Monett is the Riley cemetery, which is where her husband was buried. The obit confirms that she had been living in Missouri, and was visiting her daughter in Sedan Kansas when she died. From her husband's obit and the fact that she was living with her sister in Missouri for quite a while before her death, I believe she and Silas Gilpin were seperated for quite a few years before their deaths. His obit states he had been living with a son in Oklahoma for 18 years. I find no evidence of Eliza in Oklahoma, and I do have proof that she was living in Missouri three years before his death.
