Her husband Charles Carter Langdon served as mayor of Mobile and later Secretary of State of Alabama.
The Daily Register (Mobile, Alabama), Sunday, July 27, 1884:
ELIZA MOORE LANGDON
"The sad news that Mrs. Eliza Moore Langdon, the beloved partner of the home life of Colonel Charles C. Langdon, is dead, has come from Langdon Station, where, on the 26th of July she passed from death to life immortal. Mrs. Langdon was a native of Southington, Conn., where she was born in 1807. She was married to Col. Langdon, then a resident of Marion county, Ala., in 1829, subsequently moved to Mobile in 1836, and to Langdon in 1853.
"The happiness and great content that presided in the home circle for over fifty years has been brought to a close by the removal of its chiefest ornament. To the survivors, her memory, and the loveliness of her character as a Christian woman, will be a precious legacy."
She was a great-aunt of Helen Buck Taylor, wife of Mobile mayor R.V. Taylor.
