Notes

Ran a boarding house next to the University of Virginia for about 50 years. She also ran a tea house restaurant, often called the best place to eat by the students. The street on which they lived was named Elliewood Avenue by the students because Eliza's daughter, Ellie Wood played up and down that street.
