Notes for Lizzie A. Child
Possibly “Aunt Lizzie”:
“... My Great Aunt Nonie (sister of my grandmother) was badly crippled with arthritis. She was cared for by my grandmother and a very lovely woman that everyone called Aunt Lizzie (she was not an aunt but a cousin of my grandfather). Great Aunt Nonie was unmarried and had no family. To show her appreciation for all that my grandmother and Aunt Lizzie had done for her she both each of them a diamond right, the larger one for my grandmother (which your Aunt Nonie has) and the smaller size (which you have) for Aunt Lizzie. Both stones were equal in value, but she gave the larger size to her sister.
“… Aunt Lizzie was described as "lovely" - a very fastidious and gracious person. Mostly I remember my father talking about her. He loved her very much and spoke about her often.” (Hariett Child’s letter dated 23 Nov 1971)
