BiographyDerl Houghton:
*On Elizabeth's grave stone the spelling is MARKLEY. Elizabeth was short and plump. She wore black dresses and a little black bonnet. She always wore a starched crisp white apron and carried a little black bag with a draw string at the top. She did practical nursing and walked many miles to care for the sick. There were no pensions in those days and after Martin died she had financial difficulties. She was also very independent and proud. When George and Joan Houghton had their grocery store in Newboro they offered to help her but the offer was refused very firmly. One Saturday night she walked up to the store with her little basket. In it was a folded white starched tea towel. Before gathering the things she would need , she put her basket on the end of the counter and went to visit the other shoppers in the store. While his grandmother was busy doing this George took her basket and heaped it full, then tucked the towel over the top and put the basket back exactly where she left it When she finished her visit she went to get her basket, she looked at it, picked it up and left. After that every Saturday night the basket was left to be filled to overflowing. Once when Elizabeth was doing practical nursing, she walked up to see an old man who was very sick. He told her that the doctor had called on him that morning and didn't know what was the matter with him and didn't know what to do for his terrible fever. The doctor told him he wouldn't live through the night, but under no condition to drink cold water. He told grandmother he wanted cold water so badly and if he was going to die anyway what was the difference. She went to the well and pumped him a pail of very cold water. She left that and a dipper beside his bed. She went up in the morning expecting to see him dead. He had drank the entire pail. His fever had broken and he was on his way to recovery. There was an article in the paper about it and it was written up in the medical journal. Grandmother was cited for saving his life.
