Soon after the turn of the century, they moved across the border to Manitoba. Eliza died at age 83 after contacting bronchitis, which proved too much for her advanced age. She had been living with her son William since her husband's death in 1904. She was the mother of 10 children -- John, Elizabeth, Hiram, Margaret, Mary Jane, Amanda, William, Samuel, Sarah, and another William. At the time of her death, Eliza was the grandmother of 41 and the great-grandmother of 51.
