Elizabeth married Robert Monroe Hopper in McDonald County, Missouri, on August 24, 1877 and, with their seven children, "set out on the long and wearisome journey" (Echoes of the Past, II).

In 1913 Elizabeth married Elias Wine. Elizabeth is quoted in Echoes of the Past, II: "During the years of struggle, I enjoyed the steadfast loyal friendship of Elias Wine, but for the sake of our children's happiness, we decided not to marry until they were all well established. Our succeeding life together was one of pleasant companionship and counted happiness until he was taken by death in 1931. They moved into the Old Fort Building (Colonel's Quarters) where she died on June 4, 1941. She is buried in the Cottonwood Cemetery.
