Elizabeth Morfoot
Elizabeth Morfoot (maiden name: Boyer) was born on September 4, 1823, in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, to John and Catherine Boyer. The family moved to Ohio around 1828. She married Charles Morfoot on June 2, 1844, and they had at least five children: John, born around 1846; Eliza, born around 1848; George, born around 1852; Cora, born around 1857; and Ida, born around 1859. They lived in Bucyrus, Ohio, and her husband worked as a bricklayer.
By 1860, they owned $500 of real estate. Her husband served in the Union army from 1862 until 1865, eventually rising to the rank of 1st lieutenant. He returned home after the war, and by 1870, the family owned $600 of real estate and $100 of personal property. She lost her hearing sometime in the 1870s. Charles suffered a “stroke of paralysis” in November 1895, and he died on December 12, 1899. Elizabeth applied for a federal pension in May 1900 and eventually received one.
According to a local writer, until “she was well past her eightieth year Mrs. Morfoot was a very active old lady…[with] many excellent qualities and [she] enjoyed the esteem and warm regard of a wide circle of friends.” She fell down in March 1910 and reportedly “became completely disabled.” She died in Bucyrus on April 4, 1910.
