A brother William preceded her in death. Eliza was married to George W. Morris, December 20, 1859, and to this union were born eleven children, four sons and seven daughters. Two sons, George and Stephen and two daughters, Ann and Elmira, preceded her in death.

Taylor, Mrs. James Pence all of near Lakeview, and a son William with whom she lived at her late residence near Lakeside, and Mrs. Cecil Hoover who was reared in this home from the age of 2 years. Fifty-nine grandchildren, 46 of whom are living;60 great grandchildren, 57 of whom are living and one great great grandchild, besides other relatives and a large number of friends and neighbors, whom mourn her departure. Her husband preceded her in death on December 14, 1908, after which she missed his companionship more than words can express. Eliza became a Christian early in life and united with the United Brethren Church. Later in life, she transferred membership to the Christian Union Church, and still later in life she became affiliated with the Church of God, where she remained firm in her faith and lived a conscientious Christian life. She was of a kind and loving disposition, always thoughtful of the welfare of others and always glad of an opportunity of lending a helping hand in time of need. She spent a great deal of her time sewing, and reading her Bible, from which she received a great deal of comfort and inspiration, also in singing in her way, her favorite hymn, "Jesus Loves Even Me", dwelling on the words, "Wonderful things in the Bible I see." She departed this life February 15, 1930, being 85 years, 8 months and 25 days of age.
