Elizabeth, called Lizzie on the 1910 census was the second wife of Peter Paul Hagan.
It is through the generosity of the Hagans that my summer camp, Camp Hagan was founded, as they donated the land for it at Shawnee on the Delaware, Pennsylvania.
Very little is known about her at this time, but the 1900 census tells us she was born March of 1873, a daughter of Joseph and Emma B Wilson of Philadelphia. The census lists her occupation as "bookkeeper at a carpet cleaning house" which is probably how she met her husband, a mover and shaker in the carpet world.
She and Mr. Hagan were married in 1906 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While he was a widower, it was the first marriage for her. He had children from his first marriage, and it appears they had none together.
Dr. John A. Kaufmann, a pastor and former registrar of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, now a spry 90 years old, was recently interviewed about his career in the church and seminary. The seminary's website goes on "Favorite seminary memories? Kaufmann cites the many lay leaders who undertook projects over the years - especially the work of the Women's Auxiliary with leaders like Catharine Reed and Elizabeth Hagan, and men stalwarts like Peter Paul Hagan, Claude Wagoner, and Robert Blanck, who chaired the Trustees for decades and still serves as a Trustee. 'They all showed great leadership and dedication to the school,' he said. 'They were marvelous.'"
Her husband passed before her in 1959 and his obituary states that she survived him.
There are six women born March of 1873 named Elizabeth on the Social Security Death Index, none bearing the last name of Hagan. I thought perhaps Elizabeth's family may not have filed for her death benefit, or she may have been remarried to a man with a different last name after her husband died in 1959. It seems the former is true because I located her place of rest, and she was interred February 7, 1962 under the Hagan name.
