From the Hobart News of Dec. 2, 1920.
"Mrs. Ben Bodamer" was her daughter-in-law, the widowed Bertha. The Bodamer farm was on S. Hobart Rd., just south of 61st Ave.
In addition to going for two-mile walks, Elizabeth also lived alone, according to the 1920 Census, and farmed her own land (through hired labor, I expect). If I'm reading the 1921 plat map correctly, her farm consisted of 80 acres in Union Township, Porter County, at the southeast corner of W 300 N and N 600 W.
