Lizzie was the oldest child of the four daughters and eleven children born to Joseph Benjamin BROOKS and Mary Frances EVERHART. She is often referred to as "Mattie" in records, but my grandfather always called her "Aunt Lizzie".

She is on the 1870 and 1880 census with her parents in Prairie, Randolph County, Missouri.

28 MAY 1883 at age 17, her father gave his permission for Lizzie to marry Edward Thomas MORTON in Randolph County. They had one daughter
Edna M. MORTON (1887-1907) who later took her step father's name and went by Edna LINGO #78183986

Mattie and Edward divorced between 1887 and 1895.

11 APR 1895 Lizzie married her second husband Alfred Willard LINGO in Bell County, Texas. Alfred was Lizzie's sister-in-law's uncle. Alfred and Lizzie were on the census and in the City Directory in 1900, 1909, 1920, 1930, and 1940 living in Temple, Bell County, Texas. In 1900 Lizzie is a "saleslady - dry goods". And in 1920 she is a "clerk retail dry good co."

Her daughter, Edna, died at home in Temple suddenly of pneumonia in 1907 age 20. She was taken back to Moberly, Randolph Co., Missouri for burial.

Alfred died in in March 1948 and Lizzie died the next year.
