Notes for ELIZABETH BETZ:
Medford Mail (Tribute), Medford, Oregon, Friday, Trail Items, p. 2, c. 3: A surprise party gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ditsworth Saturday evening in honor of Mrs. D's birthday. The host and hostess, though surprised, were equal to the occasion and entertained the crowd in their usual cheery manner. After dancing till eleven they made way with the good things that had been prepared by skillful hands. Then came songs and music and soon the crowd departed wishing Mrs. Ditsworth many happy returns and hoping they'd all be there again.
Medford Mail (Tribune), Medford, Oregon, Friday, 30 Jan 1903, Central Point Items, p. 3: The many friends of Mrs. J. F. Ditsworth, of Big Butte will feel sorry to hear of the lady's death at the family home last Saturday. She was a very estimable woman and leaves a husband and large family, besides many friends, to mourn her loss.
Medford Mail (Tribute), Medford, Oregon, Friday, 13 Feb 1903, Central Point Items, p. 3: The late Mrs. Elizabeth Ditsworth, who died at her home near Leeds on upper Rogue River on the 24th day of January last, was born in California on the 31st day of August, 1858, grew to womanhood at Austin, Nev., where she was married to J. F. Ditsworth March 16, 1879, and removed with him to Jackson county in September, 1880, residing for two years near Eagle Point, and then removed to the home on Rogue River, where they have since resided. Her husband and eleven children, four sons and seven girls survive her, and cherish the memory of a devoted and loving wife and mother. For those estimable traits which characterize the highest type of pioneer woman, deceased was particularly noted, and she was deserving of the high esteem and personal friendship in which she was held by all who knew her. She lived for her husband and children, her thoughts centering in home at all times, and sore indeed is her loss in the home circles. Owing to the great storm and high water prevailing at the time of her untimely death, it was impossible to bring the remains to the valley for interments, and she was laid to rest on Monday, January 26th, on the home place, north of the junction of Rogue River and Big Butte creek. A number of relatives in the lower valley, including Mrs. Will Jackson of Medford and Mrs. Christina Pettigrew of Eagle Point, sisters of the deceased, her father Mr. A. Betz of Eagle Point, were unable to attend the funeral ceremonies, owing to the impassable conditions of the mountain streams. A coincident circumstance connected with the death of Mrs. Ditsworth was the receipt of the news by her husband this week of the death at Shelby, Iowa, of his oldest sister, Mrs. Mary Moore, at the ripe age of 78 years, her death occurring on the same day on which Mrs. Ditsworth passed away.
