Individual Details

Eliza Jane Hall

(16 Jan 1827 - 12 Dec 1899)

In his 1889 "History of the Glass Family", the youngest child of David and Eliza Glass characterizes his mother's life prior to her marriage in this way: "...she lived with her parents (in Urbana Ohio) until she was 11 years old. During this time she was useful about the house and in her father's shop; displaying those habits of thrift and industry that have characterized her ever since. Being next to the oldest in a family of six, she early learned and experienced the cares of a housewife and her adaptness was rewarded by being made the family drudge, a species of tyrannical crime not uncommon even in those days. Ever a student of affairs she possesses a general knowledge that would put the average college graduate to shame, but even possessing a womanly reticence about advancing her ways."
