wife Elizabethdied in childbirth in 1883, le
aving their two young daughters and infant son without maternal support,
and so Joshua made Eliza Kline
his second wife in 1884. Eliza had been already married twice: Once to
boat builder Benjamin McLaughlin
of Lunenburg in 1864 and again in 1873 to James
David Hall, a carpenter. At the time of her marriage to Joshua, she had one adult
daughter by her first husband and six young children by her second. With a total
of ten young mouths to feed, it was difficult for Joshua and Eliza to support
all of them, and Eliza convinced Joshua to farm out his two daughters, May
and Lottie
to help in their support.
Eliza Kline McLaughlin Hall Schwartz is buried with her daughter Annie
and her husband Harris James Demone. Buried with them, Eliza's other son Bernard.
