Note: The maiden name is used as "Paxon" in the obituary of her husband, Isaac, in 1915. There are certain family trees on Ancestry.com that use "Elizabeth Jane Paxton", but of interest is that they do not provide the names of her parents/headstone photos, etc. to document the maiden name.
That said, an 1880 U.S. Census record for Jefferson county does show the Isaac Archibald household, with an "Elizabeth Paxton", aged 71, born in PA., listed as 'Mother', presumably of Isaac's wife Elizabeth.
Update: this memorial updated July 22, 2016 with several edit requests. Middle initial "J" added, and maiden name "Paxton" added. Parent relationship links are also being added, but it should be noted that the inscriptions for the parents spell their surname as "Paxston", so obviously there are several variations for family researchers to be aware of.
