Elizabeth was born in Motzfield, Kreis Hersfeld [near Cassel], Germany, on 12 Jan 1851.
Written Family History by Henry Wilhelm states Elizabeth (a Twin) “came to America at an early age with her parents and sisters and settled in Hazelton PA.” Although evidence of her date of emigration is not conclusive at this time, the 1900 Census does indicate she immigrated to the United States in 1872 (she would have been 21 years old); Contrary to this, however, in the 1910 Census Elizabeth indicates she came to America in 1873.
