Narrative

Note: The family history of Elizabeth (Fisher) Waller

"Lizzie" first married in early 1900 to Jasper E.H. Waller, a man nearly five years younger than herself; at the time, it appears she may have misreported her age so as to appear only two years older than Jasper. The two of them would have two children - Agnes May and Frederick.

I have not found a divorce record for Lizzie and Jasper, but by the time of the 1910 US Census, Lizzie and her two young children were living with her parents and her brother, with her marital status given as divorced. (Jasper went on to remarry at least twice more - once in 1912 and once in 1918.) In July of 1910, Lizzie remarried to Samuel F. Bonebrake, a man nearly ten years her junior. Specifically identifying records for Samuel has been difficult, as the records seem to indicate there were two different men in Ohio, of nearly identical age, bearing the name Samuel Bonebrake. I am uncertain as to whether Lizzie and Samuel remained married until her death in 1917, though I will note that Lizzie is buried with the surname Waller, not Bonebrake.

After Lizzie's death in 1917, her two teenaged children went to live with Lizzie's brother John Fisher, himself a middle-aged unmarried man. Five years later, Agnes died at the age of twenty of tuberculosis; her brother Frederick died of the same disease sixteen months later. I suspect the same disease may have killed their mother, but I have not found information to confirm that as of yet..
