Biography

With her husband Alfred, Eliza had four children and they established their home in the first house built on Trevallyn when the estate was cut up in 1884, where they developed a beautiful flower garden. 

Eliza was a willing and consistent worker for several charities and, during the hardships of World War I and the depression that followed, was an active member of the Trevallyn branch of the Red Cross Society.
Eliza was to survive her husband by thirty-eight years and died on 26th November 1941, at the age of 87.
