• Notes

  She was, according to John Hall, "one of the loveliest characters I ever knew. I am very glad I lived to know that generation. [. . .] They were born before the Civil War, and in their childhood imbibed the charm and noble characteristics of that wonderful period; they never loast it, and were always to me very charming and attractive. Although a great many of them lived through those two very great convulsions of our modern American civilization, the Civil and World Wars, they were not spoiled by them." From J. Harris Franklin's genealogical notebook: "'Aunt Liza'--Her father's daughter--a devoted wife and kinswoman." After her father's death, in 1896, she finally married her long-time fiancée. His notebook has her marriage date as October 25, 1896. She also wrote two memoirs about the family. A plaque dedicated to her is placed at old St. James Parish church. [5, 6]
