- Death: 29-AUG-1935
- Father: Ross Curry Carr Handspiker
- Mother: Ruth Elizabeth VanTassel
Notes: MAY be the Eliza listed as the mother of Lillian (Spark) Weir, therefore wife of Chesley Spark. However, the Eliza listed below, could also be the daughter of Moses Handspiker and Ellen Grancy. Quite confusing. There's also a fair chance that Mar y Eliza, married 2nd, to Charles Alex Adams? Showing as 40 in 1891 (near enough), and also, in same household of Charles Alex Adams is listed "Lillie Stark" age 19 (which surely fits), as "stepdaughter."
