Biography
Elizabeth was born in 1845. She married Erastus Weaver in 1879 and together they established the Weaver House in Sedalia in the early 1880's. She married James Cochran in 1895. She did not have any children. She ran the Weaver House, a hotel, in Sedalia. I can find advertisements for this establishment in newspapers going back to 1887. There are a few mentions in the 1902 sale that she ran it for over 20 years. She passed away in 1905 of surgical complications related to her dropsy.
