Elizabeth Farquhar, daughter of James Farquhar and his third wife, was born ca 1843 in Fayette County, Alabama, and was always known as Lizzie. After the death of her father in 1859, Lizzie and her sister, Pop, went to live with their older half-sister, Katie Farquhar Berry.

Lizzie married Henry T. Berry, 11 September 1866, in Fayette County. Henry's older brother, George Berry, was married to sister, Katie. During the War Between The States, Henry served in the Confederate Army. It is remembered that Lizzie would sometimes talk about someone she was supposed to have married, other than Henry, that was killed during the Civil War.

Henry and Lizzie moved to Texas in 1867 with George and Katie Berry and other friends and relatives. They settled in Burnet County, Texas, and homesteaded 160 acres of land in the Sunny Lane community. Lizzie's half-brother, Anderson Farquhar, and her sister, Sarah Farquhar Traweek, had previously settled there in 1853.

Lizzie Farquhar Berry died within a year after she was enumerated on the 1900 U.S. Census of Burnet County, Texas, which was taken in June 1900. Henry Berry later went back to Fayette County, Alabama, where he is buried. Lizzie is buried near her sister, Katie Berry, in Cauble Cemetery in Burnet County. Only a small fieldstone marks her burial site.
