Mississippi Marriages, 1776-1935
William H. Brister.
Spouse: Mrs. Elizabeth Long
Marriage Date: 19 Feb 1884
County: Yalobusha
Her second husband dies in 1890 and in the 1900 Federal Census we find Elizabeth living in a boarding house in Water Valley. Her birth date is listed as May 1835 and her age is 65 which calculates correctly as the Census was in June. A small surprise here - Elizabeth is listed as the mother of two children, of whom one is still living in 1900. That child would most likely be from her first marriage to Mathew C. Long.
