Elsie Lilly Pearson

Elsie Lilly was born on August 28, 1901 in Tres Piedras, Taos County, New Mexico. She was the seventh and last child born to James Lilly and Lula Florence Crum: Walter, Wallace John, Maude Harriet, Willard, Jesse, Alfred, and Elsie.

On July 2, 1921 she was married to Glen William Pearson. They were the parents of Lloyd Lewis, Baby Pearson, Cecil James, and Robert M.

Elsie passed away in March, 1984. Below is an article written about her in the book, "Now and Then with Kropffs and Crums."

Elsie Lilly Pearson! What can we tell you of her and her life? Much of what we can say is obvious; because when reading this book you will find she is the seventh and last child of Lula Florence Crum and James Lilly. You can read that she wasn't necessarily the baby because Roy Lilly was raised in the household and was like a younger brother.

Everyone will enjoy her story and memories of her parents and grandparents, although she didn't take time to tell us about herself. She took much time and effort to get the names and dates of the James Lilly family; even repeating her requests, up-dating the information and keeping in close contact. She will never need to feel anything missing is due to her neglect. In fat, her help has proven invaluable in gathering material for this book. Our heartfelt thanks goes to her, though it be but poor pay.

Daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and now great-grandmother speak of a full and helpful life, spiced with love and kindness.
