Notes

  • A couple of websites have Eliza's maiden name as Hobart, but without any record or documentation for that.  A grandson, Wayne Strange, refers to her maiden name as Holbert.

    The 1900 census reports that Eliza married William Mack Strange about 1892.

    A cousin, who died several years ago, gave a handwritten list of births and deaths for the children of Wm. M. Strange and Lizzy Strange, nee Holbert.  After comparing the list with census information, I believe the information to be accurate.

    Child                                Born                Died
    1.  Gracie                        1893                1899 (a)
    2.  Oscar M.                    1895                1960
    3.  Sara A                        1898                    ?        Sara A. (Alla?), was known to me as Aunt "Elle"
    4.  Luther                         1899                1900  (b)
    5.  George E.                   1900                1983
    6.  Not known                 1902                1902
    7.  Eli                               1904                1964
    8   James                         1907                1923

    Notes (a & b):  1900 Census for Lizzy Strange, Mother, listed 4 born & 3 living children.   I am inclined to believe that Gracie died prior to census and Luther afterwards.  That would account for the 4 born and 3 living notation [in the 1900 census].

    The burial memorial that matches the dates for Grace had the name P Hauk Strange.  No photo is provided for confirmation.

    ------------------------
    We would expect that her full name was Elizabeth, since Eliza was a common nickname for Elizabeth.  She is also known in some family references as Lizzy, another common nickname for Elizabeth.  A death record in the name of Elizabeth Holbert is close to Eliza's information, but is in what would be her maiden name.  This record tells us also that Eliza Holbert was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina.  Census records report the birth state of Eliza Holbert Strange as Tennessee.

    There are some discrepancies here.  The dates are close, with estimated date (from her age) birth reported in the record as 1875, while other sources say 29 August 1973 for our Eliza Holbert Strange.  The year of death, 1911, matches, but the record has Oct 1911, while our Eliza's grave memorial (no photo provided) has Feb 1911.  But this Elizabeth is reported as a widow, while the year of death on William Mack's burial memorial is 1922.

    Holbert may be her married name, and her other details are just coincidentally close to those of Elizabeth Holbert Strange.

    Tennessee, Deaths and Burials Index, 1874-1955
    Elizabeth Holbert
    Birth Date abt 1875
    Birth Place Spartanburg, S C
    Age 36, Death Oct 1911 Newport, Cocke, Tennessee
    Marital Status Widowed
    Occupation Washer Woman

    The actual record was found, and the date on that is uncertain.  No actual date of death is found, only the date of recording.  But the months is uncler.  The closest this might have meant from the form would be August, but the letters do not look right for that either.

    Thre is a death certificate that in some ways matches Elizabeth Holbert Strange.  The year of death matches.  No exact date of death is reported on this certificate.  But the name given is only Elizabeth Holbert, not her married name Elizabeth Strange.  The age is about right, maybe off one year, but she is reported as a widow.  And her husband William Mack Strange is reported to have died in 1922, thus surviving here.  So it is uncertain who this individual is.

    Tennessee, Death Records, 1908-1958
    Elizabeth Holbert [married name Strange ?]
    Birth abt 1875 [actual date 29 Aug 1873] Spartanburg, South Carolina
