Elizabeth was born early morning 29 September 1875 in Polk County, Missouri in a log cabin filled with older brothers and sisters. While quite small she contracted typhoid fever and was in a coma for over a month. Her dad spent long hours watching over her day and night. Finally his prayers were answered when at last she was awake. The ordeal left her a rather delicate child.
Elizabeth's mother died when Elizabeth was 9 1/2 years old. Just a few months later she had a step-mother who required her to do many things beyond her years. The older children left home soon after their father remarried and later, while a young teenager, Elizabeth also left to make her own way. At Enyart, Missouri she worked for a family and went to school, finishing the first year of high school. She liked the girl where she worked and helped her in her photograph studio. A beautiful young lady, Elizabeth was photogenic and posed for many display pictures.
Later she moved to Kansas City, where she was a seamstress in a ladies tailoring shop. It was here that she joined the Seventh Day Adventist Church, met and married Nathan K. Hill, a deacon in the Church, on February 1899.

Elizabeth was a seamstress in a ladies tailoring shop when she met Nate who was a deacon in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Nate was a roving man and they would move often after marrying 5 February 1899. Their first daughter Hazel Gladys was stillborn 25 February 1900 in Booneville, Missouri and was buried on a snowy cold day in February 1900. They moved on to Enyart where son Alva was born and then to Minnesota to work on a wheat farm. Daughter Dalphene Joy was born there and then they moved back to Kansas City where Nate's parents lived. Soon they moved to North Dakota where Nate would work in the mines. The next move was back to Kansas City and then to Huntingdale, Missouri where Elizabeth's sister Linnie Norcross lived. Daughter Esther was born there. A short time later, Elizabeth moved the children to Chillicothe where her sister Ada King lived. After a bit, Nate then moved the family to Froman, Arkansas which was near Elizabeth's sister Sallie Mangis.
In Arkansas they lived in a tent and picked cotton while Nate worked in the big timber logging company. Then they moved to the Loomis Hay Farm and baled hay. Elizabeth and the children contracted malaria in the swamplands so they moved to Crescent, Oklahoma where her sister Emma Thruston lived. Once they recovered from the malaria, Nate moved them back - in a mule-drawn covered wagon - to Arkansas and then on to Chillicothe, MO. Elizabeth and the children followed Nate once more to Kansas City and then returned to Chillicothe where she and the children remained.
Nate continued to rove. They divorced 1910.
