Read More	Elizabeth Virginia Anderson, the daughter of Delilia Troup and George W Anderson, was born December 13, 1852, at Staunton, Virginia, where she lived until 1864, when the family came north and settled in Johnson county, at Shueyville. She received her education in the public schools and at Western college, then located at Western, Iowa. In 1871 she was united in marriage with B V F. Swisher and to them were born eleven children, two sons and nine daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Swisher's early married years were spent on the old Swisher homestead in Jefferson township, ten miles south of Cedar Rapids. In 1879 they came to Cherokee county and settled on a farm at Good Hope, in Pilot township. Here Mrs Swisher lived a long and useful life, highly esteemed and dearly beloved by her neighbors and her friends, to whom her passing is a genuine and heartfelt sorrow. She was a member of the M. E. church at Good Hope, to which she gave her whole hearted sympathy and devotion. Nine years ago the family left the farm and came to Cherokee, where they have since made their home at 416 Euclid avenue. Of late years Mr. and Mrs. Swisher have spent the winters in California. Last October, as usual, they went to Long Beach, but Mrs. Swisher was taken ill in November. She did not improve with treatment and thinking the change of climate might benefit her asthmatic condition, she was brought home and for a time appeared improved, but last week she had a decided change for the worse and on Sunday, March 6, passed away. Surviving her, besides her husband, are ten children, one sister, five brothers and several grandchildren. The children are Mrs. J. Lyle Kinmouth, Asbury Park, N. J.; Mrs. Rufus Crip-pen, Riverside, Cal.; Mrs. Lawrence Ramsden, Fort Dodge, Ia., Miss Olive I Swisher, Des Moines, la.; Lovell Swisher, Mrs. Raymond Crippen, Mrs. Martin Wilson, Mrs. Walter Stevenson, Mrs. Claud Jones and Mrs. Roy Glidewell Cherokee. One son, Ora, preceded her in death seven years. Cherokee (Iowa) Semi Weekly Democrat, 14 Mar 1921, p2
