Lizzie Colombe was a mere 13 1/2 years old at the time of her marriage on December 24, 1894, in Barre, Vermont. Her mother had already passed away, and her last sister in the household married just two years prior. Born in New York, she was not afforded the protection of local knowledge of her youth or records verification of age. As often was the case for young marriage, an early death would befall her from repeated pregnancies by a man eight years her senior. She succumbed to child-bed fever just shy of her 33rd birthday.
