Elizabeth ("Lizzie") was born the 7th of 8 children on an unknown day in Cumberland, MD, to parents Frederick John Bahr and Margaret Kessler Bahr.
Her siblings were Norma Virginia Davis, Frederick John Bahr, Jr., Harvey Lewis Bahr, Anne Edith Bahr Stevens, Minnie Bahr Gayhardt, Leonard Bahr and Centennial Bahr.
She and Centennial were the only, and last two, Bahr children born in Cumberland, but it is thought Lizzie was born before the land atop Wills Mountain was mortgaged to the Bahrs.
By 1888, she and most of the siblings and their mother had gone to Baltimore, because their father had died by late 1885-1887.
On March 28, 1894, Lizzie married Thomas W Ingels [see photo] and they lived in PA when Tom was with the railroad, and in DC, having three children [see photo] -- Abner George Ingels, Norman, and Edith A. [Meile].
The b&w photo is of Tom and Lizzie sitting foreground on rocks at Lover's Leap atop Wills Mountain in Cumberland, where the family cabin was situated [see cabin painting]. [The rock with the Davies name on it has nothing to do with them, but the date helps track the photo as taken in 1919 or thereafter]. The couple in the background is Lizzie's sister, Minnie and her husband, Joe.
Soft spoken, Lizzie was a devout Christian and knew the Bible. A former Lutheran, she later attended Christian Churches in Bennings, D.C. and on Minnesota Ave. It is remembered that if the family tried to bet, their winnings went straight to the church - so they didn't bother.
Lizzie, it is also remembered, liked to make her own ketchup.
After the death of Tom, and for the last ten years of her life, Lizzie and her sister, Annie Stevens lived together in the apartment above a drugstore on Good Hope Road.
At the time of her death, Lizzie had five grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Services were held at the Minn. Ave. Christian Church (from obit).
According to her nephew, Leonard Marion Bahr, she was a devout Christian and a "wonderful, compassionate person."
