Notes for Elizabeth B. Beatty:
[Laird Family Tree 2000a.FTW]
She is buried in Wolfe Cemetery, Freedom Twp., IL. The inscription reads, "Elizabeth B. wife of John Laird, died April 13, 1845." This is contradicted by a letter written by Amanda Hallett to her sister Julia A. Laird June 17, 1849. She says, "You wished to hear about all your friends, Elizabeth Laird departed this life last November. She lay a long time sick. Her bones cut through the skin. She died with consumption." This would place her death date as November, 1848. The Portrait and Biographical Album of JoDaviess and Carroll Counties, IL, page 861-862 also states her death year to be 1848.
