After 1870, either Elizabeth and Arden divorced or he left her, married Mary Ann, and moved west.  In the 1880 census, she is living with her parents and is noted as married but Arden was already married to Mary Ann by then and living in Kansas.

By 1900, Elizabeth was living with her brother and sister (even though noted on the census as a 'lodger').  She is noted as a widow and as having had no children.  This is very perplexing as she did have a son who eventually moved west to Oklahoma with his father.
