Elizabeth Livermore, daughter of Oliver and Clarinda (Robinson) Livermore, was born in Madison County, Illinois. She became a school teacher and never married. She remained in her home town for four or five decades, and then moved to the South, where she continued to teach school. The year that she moved is not certain, but by about 1895, she was living in Gross Spring on Sand Mountain in Jackson County, Alabama, teaching school there. She boarded with a younger woman, a widow, Mary Smith, who was also from Illinois. She was, according to her obituary, "highly educated and a fine instructor" (Dade County Sentinel).
In February 1905, she contracted pneumonia fever. Her brother, Mr. Crocker, came to Alabama to help. A doctor was called in from nearby Trenton, but there was no hope; she died shortly after Dr. Brock arrived. She died in mid February, but the day of death is unknown. One mention says Tuesday and the other says Saturday. Her brother arranged for her remains to be taken back home to Illinois for burial.
We are not certain that she is buried here, but as a long-time resident of Madison County, and in light of the fact that her mother and two half-brothers are buried here, she is thought to be in this cemetery.
Her death was mentioned in two items in the Dade County Sentinel (Trenton, Dade County, Georgia), on February 17, page 2 (untitled); and February 24, page 2, in the Worley Chapel column.
