Individual Details
Elizabeth Catherine BOWLBY
(30 JUL 1872 or 1873 - ABT 14 JAN 1958)
Listed as Elizabeth Schnack in her mother's obituary in 1936. As far as we know they had no children, but according to Nona, they adopted a little girl and named her Betty. Nona wrote to her when they were children. I have found Elizabeth and William Long in a couple census reports with children Edna Long and Hugh Long. I was under the impression that they had no children and had adopted a child , but I think there must have been children and possibly it was Hugh that may have committed suicide.
