    Death: Aug. 29, 1905

    In retirement Lizzie lived in Cold Sulphur Springs, VA, where she wrote: "You ask if my home was broken up during the war. I never left home, though the section in which I lived was three times overrun by federal troops who destroyed everything we had except the house over my head, burned barns and all outbuildings of every description, and even destroyed the house furniture, carrying off such as they could. I thank God it is all past. I am sure I could never go through with it again. My son, James Alexander Craig, was only sixteen when the war closed, but had volunteered and was on his way to join his command when he heard the news of Lee's surrender, so he was spared the hardships of the camp and strife of battle, and I, perhaps, a son. He was elected to the Legislature in 1895, and served four terms, but has since retired to private life. He is an elder in the Presbyterian church, and quite influential in church circles and the courts of the church." He served as "superintendent of the Sunday school." (Hopkins Genealogy. p. 223)
