- Cemetery: Elizabeth Baptist Church, Shelby, Cleveland County, NC
Notes:
Elizabeth Wilson lived out her life as servant to family and community. In 1870 she is enumerated living with her daughter. She spent many hours along the ridge under a great oak where she watched over cattle in the pasture. This was her place for quiet contemplation. She and a neighbor lady were worried and sought to right wrongs growing from industry and development along nearby bottom land. Their prayers were answered when Elizabeth stepped forward and donated land for the construction of a church. And named in her honor, Elizabeth Baptist Church stands as the spiritual home for many generations raised in eastern Shelby, North Carolina. Elizabeth Love Wilson's descendants donated a wonderful oval portrait that once hung in the family home. And today, each and every Sunday, the minister must pass under the protective gaze of Elizabeth as he enters the pulpit.
