15. | Rebecca Elizabeth (Lizzie) PUCKETT was born on 30 Jun 1871 in Iowa (daughter of Allen N. PUCKETT and Rebecca COURTNEY); died on 27 Mar 1960; was buried in Bartley Cemetery, Red Willow County, Nebraska. Notes:
Lizzie Puckett's second husband was Herbert McElroy. She also
raised Leta who was Herbert's brother's granddaughter.
Lizzie had a small general merchantile store (candy,clothing,cloth, etc.) in Bartley. Herbert had a cobbler shop on the back of the property. Lizzie, Herbert and Leta lived at the back of the Merchantile store.
Lizzie was very active in the Methodist Church. She was Dad's (Rex Lewis) sunday school teacher when he lived in Bartley with his dad and he still has the small bible she gave him.
Lizzie and Herbert moved to Lincoln and the Wolfe's lost touch with Leta until Leta got back in touch with Mildred and Ina in 1995.
My father, Rex Lewis, remembers Lizzie from when she was his Sunday School teacher. He is 85 and still has the little New Testament that she gave him. She must have made a big impression on him since he has been agnostic for at least the last 40 years. - Rebecca Lewis
