Elizabeth "Lizzie" M Setzer was born 26 Oct 1871, Reeders, Monroe, Pa to William Setzer 1834-1893 and Sarah B Woodling 1837-1918. The only solid evidence of DOB and DOD are taken from her Death Certificate and also lists her parentage.
1880 Census lists Elizabeth as single daughter age 12 yrs (1868) living with her parents and 8 siblings.
Elizabeth married Milton Bonser 1862-1896 presumably before 1889 and they had two children
Jessie Verne Bonser 1890-1978 & Grant Leroy Bonser 1892-1977. Milton died 11 Mar 1896.
Elizabeth married Elijah Aten 28 Sep 1899 in Scranton, Pa. No burial or Find A Grave information found. He was born to William Aten 1808-1842 & Elizabeth Barber 1804-1861. His ancestry is well document by the caretaker of this memorial.
1900 Census lists husband as Elizha Aten, employed engineer, with two children Jessie 9 & Grant 7 Bonser (from previous Marriage) Her age is given as 32 years (1868)
1910 Census lists husband as Elizah Aten, employed engineer, with two children Jessie 19 & Grant 17 Aten and two more children Jennie A Aten 9 (1901) & Grace E Aten 6 (1904), presumably from second marriage to Elizah. Elizabeth age given as 41 years (1869)
1920 Census lists husband as Elijah Aten, employed engineer, with three children Grant L Bonser 27, Alice Aten 19 & Grace Aten 15. Elizabeth age is listed as 50 (1870)
1930 Census lists Elizabeth Aten as Head age 60 (1870) with single daughter Grace Aten age 26 (1904)
1940 Census lists Elizabeth Aten age 69 (1871) as Mother living with Jessie Hughes head age 48 and sister Grace E Wilkins age 35.
1950 Census lists Elizabeth Aten age 83 (1867) as mother to Jessie B Hughes head age 55.
Been interesting putting this puzzle together. Most of it fits except the DOB on the stone. My bet is she was born in 1868 instead of 1878. The name combination is telltale to it being the correct person but why such a difference in the DOB. Most errors are corrected before the stone is set unless there was no one there to raise the question. If anyone can come up with more documentation or information, please let me know.
