That her Post Office address is 405 Bergen St, Gloucester City, New Jersey. Filed 28 September 1898 Signed: Lizzie May Goldy."
Lizzie never did get the survivor pension because her birth had never been publically recorded.
After her parent's death, she had been sent to the orphan's home in Philadelphia and afterwards the Orphans home at "Chester Springs" where she met with an accident to her nose which maimed her for life. She remained at the home until she reached the age of 16 years. She always wore glasses and a fake nose attached. She married James Cain Goldy and had 8 children. Most are buried at Haddonfield Baptist as she is.
