Mrs. Elizabeth Hamstead. Preston County Journal. Kingwood, WV. Thur., Feb. 24, 1921.
Excerpt -- Mrs. Elizabeth Hamstead, who has lived in Eglon for many years, departed this life last Monday morning, Feb. 14, 1921. She was born Jan. 10, 1874, which brought her to the ripe old age of 76 years, 1 month and 3 days. She has been married three times, first to Mr. Devers, later to Jacob Aronhalt, who died at his home on the Allegheny mountains after which she with her son move to Eglon, where she was married to John Hamstead in 1892 and since his death in 1910, she has been living alone, on her own property, until the last few weeks she had been caring for a widowed neighbor, who was suffering with small pox (but has recovered). She not being a strong woman, as not many of her age are, she was taken sick with something like a block of the bowel or continued cramps, which lasted but a few days. it was her desire to be brought to her own home, but was unable to stand to be moved. But was brought there as soon as life was gone. She leaves two sons and a host of friends to mourn their loss. There were no services at the house, only a short service at the grave on account of the smallpox epidemic through the neighborhood. (Note: her date of birth is incorrect in this obit, she was born Jan. 10, 1845.)
