Description
Excerpt from The Story of Aunt Lizzie Aiken
Eliza N. Atherton was born March 24th, 1817, at the house of her maternal grandfather in Auburn, Cayuga county, New York. Her mother, whose maiden name was Deborah Ward, was the favorite daughter in a large family of sisters and brothers. There is often in such families one daughter, who from greater amiability of disposition and intense filial affection clings closer than the rest to the pa ternal home, and returns at every opportunity to spend a few more delightful days with her parents, Such a daughter Deborah Atherton appears to have been. Although her home was in Albany, her older children were born at her father''s house, and we find her often there on visits.
Thus it happened that little Eliza, or Lizzie, as she has always been called, had two homes during the first years of her life, being first with her mother in Albany, and again spending months at a time with her grandparents at Auburn.
