Lizzie, as she was known, was a young pre-teen during the Civil War and lived with her parents on their Fayette County farm. During the war, it was her duty to hide the family cow in the woods when Yankee or Rebel foragers came through the area looking for cows, hogs or other food. After the family moved to Lamar County in the 1870s, Lizzie helped her father run the store and post office. She took over running the household and looking after her mother when Sarah was permanently injured in a fall from the gin.
Lizzie and her husband lived on a farm out from Kennedy, and there they raised five children, three girls and two boys. After Lizzie's parents broke up house keeping, her bachelor brother Jake moved in with her family and remained with them for the rest of his life. When they died, both Lizzie and Miles were buried at Meadow Branch Cemetery where Lizzie's parents and other Trulls rested.
