I believe this Elizabeth Dixon to be the Elizabeth A. Brashear who married Stephen Andrew "Douglas" Dixon in April 1910.
The date of death on her headstone is 1942; however, it is incorrect. Her obituary, which was in the Houston Republican newspaper, dated 15 July 1943, has her death date as July 1, 1943.
Elizabeth Ann Dixon was born in Mexico City, Mo., September 29, 1872, and passed away at Newton, Kansas, July 1, 1943, at the age of 71 years, 9 months, and 11 days.
She was united in marriage to Lloyd May and to this union one child was born: Mrs. Nettie McColgin of Newton, Kansas. She spent her last few months with her daughter.
Her husband preceded her in death about 36 years ago. In later years she married S. A. (Doug) Dixon.
She professed faith in Christ at an early age and was very active in church work for some time, but in her later years her health did not permit her to do much church work. She has been anxious for Christ to come and take her to that mansion over there.
She leaves to mourn her going, the husband, the one daughter, one sister and a number of other relatives and friends.
All was done that loving hands could do to keep her, but God saw best to take her.
Mother, your voice is stilled; a place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.
Funeral services were held at Raymondville, Saturday at 2 p.m., Rev. J. R. Holbrook officiating. Burial at Oak Hill Cemetery under direction of the Evans Funeral Home.
