Elizabeth was always called "Lib".  I remember just a short time before they moved to St. Joseph Co. Ind. in 1861 I was at their house and Anna then was tall and slender while Lib was not so tall, but heavy set, and she talked so kind and pleasant to me and she called me a "nix nuts."   I have often thought since she was right.  Well, she is still the same Lib.  Now the old saying is "fat and sassy," but with her I think it is different and is "fat and jolly,"  I know that it suits her best.  But the whole family take after their  mother in that she was exceptionally cheerful and happy natured, no matter what happened, it might have been worse and she would unfold the bright side of it.  Thus it is with Lib, good natured and happy.  But then, I do believe that if she would get angry at you she would be able to call you down to a finish.,and I hope that I will not have her get fire in her eye at me---   Lib marrie a man that I also admire and I would call him one of Gd's most noble men and I would call both of them good ,pleasant and influential neighbors,
