LIZZY

<p>Millie Elizabeth Monroe McKeever was fondly known to family and friends as Lizzy.<br />She grew up during the trials and tribulations of a divided America during the 1860s. She was thrown into adulthood with the tragic loss of her mother and was transformed into a woman destined to carry a torch from the Underground Railroad to women’s suffrage.<br />Always one to take on any quest Lizzy found the words written by her great-grandmother nearly sixty years earlier deep in a cedar chest. Those words ignited a drive in her that transcended into the lives of generations to come.<br />Presidents would come and go. Heroes would have their day. Speeches and declarations would be made across the nation. But Lizzy’s journey would be more personal with a passion for country and family. The costs mounted to the point of breaking but she did not bend.<br />Lizzy gave all she could and some would argue she gave too much. But to Lizzy nothing was too much compared to fulfilling the promise made to her great-grandmother. Her word meant everything to Lizzy and in the end it was her word that would change history.</p>
