Elizabeth Ann Johnson was born in Shelby County, Kentucky, March 29, 1829, and died near Hollandsburg, Indiana, July 7 1899, aged 70 years, 3 months and 17 days.
When 6 years of age her parents, David and Sarah Johnson, moved from Kentucky and settled in Union Township, Parke county, Indiana, where the subject of this sketch ever after lived.
Sept. 17, 1850, she was married to James Harvey Connelly, with whom she lived a happy life for almost forty-nine years. To this union were born six children - Mrs. Sarah Noble and Phlemon, of New Market, Mrs. Frances Moore, of Newton, Kas., William and George, of Hollandsburg, and a daughter who died in 1880. Nellie, a granddaughter, who was so kindly cared for in the family from infancy, felt the loss as much as any. She leaves fourteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
… She requested that the funeral services be held at her late home and to be conducted by Elder James Burford, which was done on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of a very large assemblage of relatives and friends, Elder Airhart assisting, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Moriah Cemetery to await the morning of the resurrection.
