Introductory Bio for Elizabeth Lucinda Beachtell Thomas, a very long name for a very tiny person. Lizzie raised her grandson during the first ten years of his life and he loved her very much. She would occasionally find a way to save a penny from their meager budget and then send him to the bakery to buy some little cakes.(I think those may have been soft sugar cookies.) When he returned, Lizzie would have a beverage ready and she would sit with him, chat and eat the little treats. Lizzie was good to him and he never forgot how much she loved him. When he was grown, he was a big man, and he could pick up his Grandmother like a child and hold her so she could access some of her kitchen cupboards that were above her reach. Lizzie always protested, but secretly she enjoyed their little game. Lizzie was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Beachtell/Becktell and Martha Ann Nigh/Nye. Her siblings were Charles A who died at age 4 yrs, Martha Jane (aka Mattie or Matt), Benjamin B., and Jesse F. Lizzie married William Henry Thomas and they had 5 daughters and 2 sons. Lizzie lost her youngest son in an accidental shooting at age 8 while playing with a cousin.
