ELIZABETH "ELIZA" A. (HARRIS-PAGE) GREGG
1900 census gives birth month as April, probably correct. Have entered Sept., as engraved on marker, per FG guidelines.

65Y 9M
Dau of Sheldon Harris and Mrs. Mary (unk) Sherar/Sherer per her death cert filled out by her dau. She is shown as "Ann E." age 7, living with her widower father, Sheldon Harris, in 1880 census. He died in 1883.

Eliza has consistently been shown as dau of William and Martha Page and referred to as sister of their dau Jeanette "Nettie". Eliza's mother died when she was a baby, and her father when she was about 10 yrs. It appears she was "adopted" by William and Martha (Brown) Page and took their name.

Note: Eliza's death cert gives year of birth as 1862, age 65Y 9M. This is clearly an error, it was 1872 as other records show. If it had been 1862 her age would have been 75Y 9M at time of death.
