  7. Eliza has two memorials on Find A Grave, one for Rose Hill Cemetery, in Shenandoah, Page County, Iowa; the other in Union Grove, Northboro, Page County, Iowa. Her son William and his wife are buried in Rose Hill, while her son Charles is buried in Union Grove. There is no marker in Rose Hill, although there is a plot number. There is a large (relatively recent) family stone in Union Grove. Actual cemetery records would help determine her actual burial location.
