On December 10, 1840 as Elizabeth Knight, she married Elisha Romans at Harrison, Ohio. Biographical History of Crawford, Ida and Sac Counties J.B. Romans, the leading hardware merchant of Denison, Iowa, has been engaged in business in this city for the past twenty years. As one of the prominent men of the county, it is appropriate that more than a mention of him should be made in this work. Mr. Romans was born in Harrison County, Ohio in 1845, son of Elisha and Elizabeth (Knight) Romans, the former a native of Chester County, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Cecil County, Maryland; both came from old Quaker families. His parents moved from Ohio to Iowa in 1856 and settled in Clinton County. The father was in well-to-do circumstances at that time, but he sold most of his property, arranging for the payments to be made to correspond with his obligations on the farm he bought here. The panic of 1857 came one, these notes were not paid, and he was compelled to sacrifice his land in order to meet his own obligations. He then rented a farm and started anew, but his death occurred in March of the following year, 1858; thus did his family meet with a sadder blow than the loss of property. Mrs. Romans was left with a number of small children, the subject of our sketch being the oldest. He remained with his mother and aided in her support until he was twenty-six years of age. They purchased an eighty-acre farm in Clinton County, and there the mother passed the last years of her life. She died at Charter Oak, February 27, 1889. The other members of the family are as follows: Catherine, wife of George F. Gandie, of Denison; Ann, wife of E.F. Councilman, of Le Mars, Iowa; Hannah, wife of Charles B. Eaton, of Manchester, Iowa; Lewis, Charter Oak, Iowa; Robert, Denison; and Eva, deceased.
