Notes - NAME: Originally named Eliza Johnson for the nurse who cared for J.H.Cason after his injury in the Civil War.
N4, h1, h2
In the 1920 census, Lida is shown as head of household. Morton is not there. Jere Will is a boarder in another house and listed as a son. Lida's birthplace is listed as Louisiana. There is a Pat Higgs on the same street as Lida supposedly from Arkansas. Maybe connected.
