Elizabeth Barbara Falder, pictured at right, was the daughter of Cornelius Falder and Catharine Kube.  She was born April 20, 1860, in McDonough County, probably in Macomb.

On October 11, 1880, an affidavit was prepared by R. Lawrence, a Deputy Clerk of McDonough County, by which Bruce Anderson attested that he and Miss Lizzie Falder were both single and unmarried, that he was 23 and a resident of Tennessee Township, and that Lizzie was 20 years of age.  McDonough County marriage license #831 was issued on the same day.  They were married at Tennessee Township on October 13, 1880, by Theodore L Henry, Minister of the M. E. Church.
