Hi, I found these census records. I would say Eliza is most likely buried in Woods Co. Ok. Her husband James could have died in either Indiana or Illinois or Oklahoma. The Woods Co. Hist. Soc. may be able to help you with locating the burial of Eliza. Good Luck Norma 1910 Woods Co. Ok - 3 Wd, Alva - Dist. 267 #38/38 Eliza A.

Norma, Thank you very much. I had not found Eliza in 1900 yet, so that helps to know that her husband, James was not around. Thank you for the census records. I have already contacted the Alva Public Library in Woods County and they are supposed to put me in contact with someone who can help. THANK YOU.
