Her obituary lists her name as Frances Elizabeth Amason Caffey, but her tombstone shows her first name spelled as "Francis." Also, she has a sister named "Elizabeth Louise," so I'm not sure that they would have named another daughter "Elizabeth."
The Amason Family Bible lists her name as "Eliza F. Amason" which agrees with her TX Death Cert. that shows her name as "Eliza Francis."
