Elizabeth is the wife of Mathew Thornsberry.

She is the mother of America, buried beside her and of Sarah Ann (Thornsberry) Kendrick.
Sarah Ann married Francis Marion Kendrick, Francis served in the Confederate Cavalry from Arkansas. Their son Oscar Frederick Kendrick served in World War I.

Across the top of the double stone that Elizabeth shares with her husband is engraved, 'Gone But Not Forgotten'
Between Mathew and Elizabeth's panels on the stone is carved an urn with a water lily growing upward ending in with a blossom that looks like a Calla Lily.

The last name on each side of this stone is mis-spelled. The correct spelling is 'Thornsberry', on this stone one 'r' has been left out.

This stone and that of Mathew and Elizabeth's daughter, America, is inside a wrought iron fence that is still in remarkable shape. The knob on the gate is very ornate and quite beautiful, see the picture to the right.
