In 1854 she married Thomas B. Hizar who became one of the Civil War veterans. They lived in Delaware for many years. In 1889 they moved to Duluth, Minn., where Mr. Hizar died in 1894. In 1896, Mrs. Hizar and daughter Emma moved to Fruithurst where they have resided since. There were three children, Lannes W. Hizar now of California; Emma J. Hizar of this place and Thomas Marshal Hizar, deceased. Mrs. Hizar was a consistent member of the Episcopal church from her youth. She was always good and kind, to know her was to love her, and she leaves a wide circle of friends. Her trust in the maker during her declining years was implicit. Though 83 years old, Mrs. Hizar remained active until about six months ago when she began to grow weaker until she peacefully passed away on the morning of August 14th. She lived a peaceful life and had a peaceful death. Rev. J.R. Barker of Heflin conducted the funeral services. Her remains were carried to New Castle, Delaware where her husband was buried. The many friends extend their sympathy to the surviving children. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 1.9 Kb
