The Harden bible states that Elizabeth died in 1907. The LDS Ancestor file mistakenly has her dying in 1902. An article in the Newaygo Republican, "Local News," states she is still alive on 1 November 1906:
"Mrs. Myron Black and Mrs. Elizabeth Horn went to Hayesville, Ohio, on Monday last, where Mrs. Horn will make her future home. They were accompanied by Master Isaac Bullis."
Kathryn Van Auken in a 17 January 2002 email writes that she found Elizabeth Horn's obituary. "Then we found our Grandma Elizabeth's obituary deep in the book. It was also in the Loudonville Democrat on Thursday, January 24, 1907. It was titled "Death of a Pioneer." She had died on Sunday ( January 20, 1907) at the home of her daughter Mrs... Mary Liston in Hayesville after
"an illness of several weeks with infirmities incident to her age." It says "She was born in Pittsburgh, Penn. February 16, 1811 and was aged 96 years 11 months and 4 days ." It went on to say "She had resided for the past thirteen years at Newaygo, Mich. and returned last November to
spend the remainder of her days with her daughter at Hayesville. She was married to David Grubaugh and to this union six children were born. Of these Daniel Grubaugh, of Pittsburg, Penn. and Mrs.. Mary Liston of Hayesville, survive. She was again married to John Horn and to this union three daughters were born all of whom are now deceased." It says her services were held
at two o'clock at the Bethesda Chapel, near McKay, of which she was a member for many years, conducted by the Rev. H.E. Williamson of McZena. Interment was made in the chapel cemetery." This is the only record we have found of her death or interment."
Kathryn continues, "We went to the cemetery and didn't find a tombstone. This didn't surprise us because she was so old when she died that her immediate descendants were mostly all dead by then and her remaining descendants probably didn't have the emotional attachment or the money for a stone for her. The cemetery doesn't have her plotted, but does have some graves right next to Harriet and Charlotte marked "Unknown". There are six Liston's buried right near Harriet's and Charlotte's graves also.They didn't have Harriet or Charlotte marked as being buried there either, but as we pointed out to the Green Twsp. gentleman who is the caretaker for the cemetery, their tombstones are there! He said that he is going to go and check the cemeteries again as soon as the township figures out how to deal with the discrepancies at the closed cemeteries. He is really interested in having it right. There are quite a few tombstone pieces piled up in a back corner at both cemeteries from long ago and it is unknown where the graves are in the particular cemeteries."
The Mc Kay cemetery was next on Kathryn's list. "We went to Mc Kay cemetery and found Grandpa John's grave and tombstone next to some other Horn's graves. There were Liston's and Black's in the same cemetery. We took photographs and did chalk etchings along with photographs of all of the stones with family names that we could. We have been there three times so far. I love this
researching adventure thing! We have found records in the probate office and in books of our John
Horn, from Stark County, Ohio, purchasing 80 acres for $1.25 per acre on January 24,1832 for the sum of $100.00. We were able to ascertain where the land is, drove out there and took pictures. The view is breathtaking. I TOOK A ROCK right off of the land that our ancestors lived on over 150 years ago! It now sets in my rose and flower garden in my front yard so I see it every time I am on my front walk."
Elizabeth's will (right part of page torn):

"That I, Elizabeth Lloyd Rainier was married to Andrew C. Lloyd, who served as a private in Company F. 82nd Ohio Infantry. I was married to him in March 1861, and was never divorced from him at any time. I was his legal wife from date of our marriage to date of his death. I recognized him as my husband and he recognized me as his wife. We had four children. Sometime in 1895 through a mistaken understanding I went to Fremont, Michigan with my uncle, Phillip Black, and went before a Justice of the Peace and a ceremony was performed, so that I, as the wife of Phillip Black could receive his property. This was known to my husband, Andrew C. Lloyd, the soldier. I did not sustain maritial relations with my uncle. I was his housekeeper. My husband was a member of the household part of the time and was at the Soldier's Home part of the time. The marriage proceedings were simply to obtain the property in the case of his death. Phillip Black died Sept. 24, 1906. He did not consider me as his legal wife and I did not consider him my legal husband. The Justice of the Peace made no record of the ceremony at Fremont, and objected to performing the ceremony knowing it was not legal. It was not accepted by anyone as a legal marriage neither by me, Phillip Black, or my husband, Andrew C. Lloyd. I was Andrew C. Lloyd's legal wife until the time of his death. After his death I re-married Martin Rainier and since the death of Martin Rainier I have not re-married."
Newaygo County Death Records state Elizabeth Rainier died of a tumor of the liver on 26 October 1919. She was 76 years, three months and 20 days old. She died in Garfield Township, was a housewife and was born in Pennsylvania. Her parents were David Grubaugh and Elizabeth Black. Book 3, page 112.

VanSickle of Ashton, Idaho, ten grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, three sons-in-law, one sister in Ohio and many friends, for she was always of cheerful disposition.
