TOMBSTONE TUESDAY ~ Hazen P. Ward and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Lindsay–Woodmere Cemetery, Detroit, Michigan


Elizabeth “Lizzie” Lindsay is my 1st cousin twice removed.  This makes her the granddaughter of my 2nd great grandparents, William Lindsay and Mary Wallace.

I learned more about Lizzie when I connected with my 3rd cousin, Marian.  She is a descendant of Lizzie’s parents Robert Lindsay, Sr. and Catherine “Kittie” Erb.

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Lindsay was born 22 Jun 1893 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. She was a twin.  Her twin brother was Robert Lindsay (1893-1977).

Lizzie was married four times.  First to Robert Bruce on 16 Oct 1912, divorced in 1922; 2nd to Thomas A. Bollman on 30 Jul 1923, divorced in 1933; 3rd to Frederick Ollson 26 Sep 1935 who died 21 May 1950 and last to Hazen P. Ward.  I haven’t located the marriage record for Lizzie & Hazen as of this date.

I plan to write a follow up post about Lizzie’s marriages and life.
 
She is buried at Woodmere Cemetery in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.  Her fourth husband, Hazen P. Ward is buried alongside her.  They are in the South Lake Section, Lot 429, Spaces 7 & 8.  You may visit their memorials here – Hazen #194746445 and Elizabeth “Lizzie” #194746577.

If you are connected to any of the people mentioned in this post, I’d love to hear from you.

Happy hunting,




Michigan Girl
