Not found under Elisabeth, Elizabeth, Liz*, Lis*. I even tried no name, born plus/minus two years of 1867, immigrated plus/minus two years of 1882. The "closest" I came to: The 1900 Census for Waverly, Spokane Co. Henry Wittorf, born April 1862 in Germany, immigrated 1869, farmer/owned, married 9 years, Elsa E, August 1867 in Germany, immigrated 1882, mother of 2/2 living Anna, Oct 1892 Henry, August 1895 --"She" has possibilities, but the children's names are wrong. Ship manifest for the Werra, arriving New York, December 21, 1882, shows all three. Elisabeth was 15. Chances are 355/365 she was born in 1867. IF the manifest was accurate. I tried the Washington State Archives, the Washington Death Certificate Index and others. Not much to go on.
