Married Dr George W Conner, 1 Jan 1869, Clermont Co, OH

Mother of Dr Halstead Archard Conner

From the History of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Ohio, 1894

"She graduated one year ahead of the class in which she started at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. She taught German and Latin in the Indianapolis High School, where her refusal to accept lower wages than the male teachers received led to a reform in that matter which is still observed. In 1865 she became a regular contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, under the nom de plume of "Zig", and later to the Cincinnati Commercial under her initials "E.A.", and in 1884 she became the literary editor of the New York World. In 1885 she became connected with the American Press International, where she is still engaged in editorial work. She is a member of the Sorosis and and New York Woman's Press Club. It is said she has done as much newspaper work as any woman living, her daily average being about two thousand words. She is an author of a book describing her experiences in foreign lands, and has also written several serial stories, besides a special series of articles about the Civil war. In her girlhood, she was enthusiastic for the higher education of women. She has organized classes among her sex for parliamentary usage, and extempore speaking, and in addition to her regular page of general editorial matter, she finds time to edit a special livestock and dairy department. She is a phenomenal worker, and her life is an instructive illustration of what may be accomplished by a woman in America provided she has brains and pluck...... She and her husband are the parents of one child, Halstead A., who is connected with Specker Brothers & Company, Cincinnati."

Eliza died at 608 W. 135th St., Manhattan, New York City. She was cremated, and her remains were interred in the Warren Cemetery near New Richmond, OH, which was on her Grandfather James Warren's old farm. Her husband and son were buried with the Conner family in Green Mound Cemetery, New Richmond
