May 1912

Lizzie Wiggins Hillan was born at New Hampton, New Hampshire, July 5th, 1854 and died at her home in Earlham, Iowa, May 26th, 1912. She came with her parents to Iowa in 1869 and has since made Madison County her home.

She was married January 1, 1872 to Mark Campbell Hillan, who with her four daughters, Mrs. Lawrence McBride, of Lake Arthur, New Mexico, Sarah, Margaret and Eva, of Earlham survive.

Although the suffering in the past three years had been great she bore it uncomplainingly but was ready to lay down the burdens and cares of this life and take up the crown of glory and meet the dear ones who had gone before her to the better land.
