" HALF CENTUARY RESIDENT DIES "
Funeral Held Friday for Mrs. Zieler Mother of Mrs. Connaughton
Mrs. Elizabeth Zeiler, aged 85 years, pioneer resident, died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. S. A. Connaughton on South Express Avenue, Wednesday night
November 24 foiling several weeks of illness. Mrs. Zieler was born December
25, 1844 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Penn. and has made her home in Paris
the past 51 years. She is survived by three sons, John, Joseph "Joe", and
Andrew "Andy" Zeiler and one daughter, Mrs. S. A. Connaughton. They left one
son out Frank, when he married out of the Catholic Religion, the family must
have really turned their back on him.
Mrs. Catherine "Katie" Limbird remembers Elizabeth as a little short
woman, about 5 ft. 1 in to 5 ft. 2 inches tall, a little heavy, but not much.
She wore her hair in a bun on the back of her head. She always wore a hat and
a short, grayish black velvet cape with rhinestones on it, the cape came down
to her hips. The cape must have been real pretty when it was new, probably
black. She always wore the cape and hat to church every time she went.
Elizabeth spoke German, and when Katie would try to talk to her she
would laugh at her.
Katie said that George and Elizabeth ran a cafe in Indiana and had a
good business and was doing well. One day he just picked his family up and
moved them to Arkansas. They came down the river and settled in or around the
bottoms (maybe the Union Community or near Roseville).
After George died. Joe, their oldest son, never married living with his
mother, they did that in those days. They lived in the Union Community, down
Old Sandy Road, on the right side of the road. They lived in a two room house
with a summer kitchen added on. The summer kitchen didn't have a floor. Katie
said she guessed that Joe and little George slept in one room and Elizabeth in
the other, (note: the well is still there in a pasture now, and it belongs to
little George's widow).
Joe and Grandma Elizabeth spoiled little George, if he didn't want to do
something they didn't make him.
Katie, Ann (one of Katie's sisters), and Mary Zeiler went to Grandma
Elizabeth's and did the washing for her, using a tub and a rub board. They
would hang the clothes on the line to dry, when the clothes dried they would
bring them in for her. They always took some meat with them to make a big pot
of soup on wash days for dinner and they would eat in the summer kitchen.
Grandma Elizabeth was at her daughter's home about two weeks before she died.
Katie had no picture of Elizabeth and she has never seen a picture of
Elizabeth.

Vera Zeiler, little George's wife, has never seen a picture of Elizabeth
either, she said that Joe didn't have a picture with his things after he died.

Elizabeth had a HouseHold brand treadle sewing machine. Vera Zeiler, wife of
George, has the sewing machine at her home. I saw the sewing machine today,
and I plan on taking pictures of it. It is old and made of all wood and it is
in good shape. Vera has taken real good care of it.
