Elizabeth Donnenworth married Jacob Bernhard Haist (Heist) in February 1860, in Waterloo Co., Ontario, Canada. Although we cannot find his grave, at least four Haists are buried in the Crown cemetery in Wellington, Ontario, the place where Jacob died in 1895.

Elizabeth Donnenworth Heist's gravestone shows a death date of 1916 which agrees with both our sources below, but the gravestone shows a date of birth of 1839 and the date of birth from both our sources is April 10, 1838. As you can see from the headstone, Elizabeth Heist lived just a few days short of 78 years and died in 1916. 1916 - 78 = 1838. We believe the date of birth on the headstone is wrong, One source says she died on April 5, 1916. We are using that date because it is "77 YRS. 11 M. 25 D." from her birthdate of April 10, 1838 which both our sources agree on. Our two sources disagree on the exact date of her death and marriage, but they agree on the month and year. The other source:
