Eliza Huffman was the fifth of ten children born to Ambrose Huffman and Christina Strole. She may have had a middle initial of "B" according to her granddaughter Alice B. Munger. The Huffmans descended from John Hoffman, a German settler and one of the founders of the First Colony at Germanna, VA in 1714. The Stroles were descendants of a young captured Hessian soldier who became an American after the Revolution. Eliza was born on her parents farm, which was about one mile north of the Alma Bridge on the western shore of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. When she was three and half years old, her family moved to another farm about 12 miles south on Naked Creek, Page County. This farm was two and half miles up the creek from the Shenandoah River and included a house, barn, orchard, sawmill, and mill race. She and her brothers fished and swam in the creek, and in wintertime they skated upon it. The farm became known as Huffman's Mill.
In June 1861 her older brother James left home and enlisted in the Riverton Invincibles in the 10th VA Infantry to fight in the Civil War. After the war ended and James returned home, Eliza married one his comrades-in-arms John Benjamin Munger in 1867. John's family lived just down Naked Creek near the river. They were married at the Huffman home by Rev. J. Johnson, with Eliza's brother James as witness, along with John P. Huffman (no known relation, but a war buddy from the Riverton Invincibles).
Eliza had nine children, seven girls and two boys. One girl died in infancy and one boy, Hubert Luther, died aged 2 years. In the 1870s, she and John built a nice 2 storey home in Waverlie near his parent's house on Naked Creek. They owned a lumber mill in nearby Staunton, VA. Sometime between 1882 and 1903, they settled on a farm near Roanoke, VA. By 1894 they had moved to Staunton, VA (according to the Harrisonburg Rockingham Register newspaper obituary for John's mother, who died in their house). They moved to Roanoke in 1910, then to Poolesville, Montgomery Co., MD in 1916 where Eliza and John lived the rest of their lives. They lived on a large farm in a lovely house at 19421 Fisher Ave, which still stands today.
Eliza's son Marvin Arthur Munger married Georgie Surber in 1903 and the young couple followed her to Poolesville. Georgie's parents followed them, George Surber and his wife Martha Rose Hilleary Surber. They bought a farm nearby, but the house on it was not yet completed, so they lived with Eliza and John temporarily. This led to an amusing family story involving a bottle of cooking sherry.
Eliza was a strict Methodist (no cards, no dancing, no liquor) and she disapproved strongly of Rose Surber having a bottle of cooking sherry. Rose was religious too, but not so strict. She was a notable cook, and didn't care for being called a sinful woman because she cooked with sherry. The disagreement became severe with Eliza demanding that Rose throw out the evil liquor, and Rose stating that such a thing was ridiculous. The upshot of it all was that a stove was set up outside on the porch where Rose did her cooking for the remainder of their stay. Eliza did her cooking inside the house with the awful sherry banished from her kitchen as she demanded. (Source for this story: Grace G. Munger Smith and Alice B. Munger, granddaughters of Eliza and Rose as told to Grace's granddaughter Laura C.).
