The Burch work tells us that censuses showed that she was a seamstress and that the children of Jonas, her brother, lived with her some of the time.  She left no will but had a small estate divided among many heirs.  The inheritance seems to have been less than $5 each besides a small piece of land. 

There is also a quote in the Burch book taken from the Catskill Examiner of Saturday, May 23, 1908.  "Coroner John B. Longendyke was called to South Cairo Tuesday morning to view the body of Eliza Scriber which had been found that morning in an old hut.  From all appearances the unfortunate old woman had been dead for a week.  After a careful examination the coroner gave a verdict that death was due to exhaustion from old age and lack of proper nourishment.  No one knows the life that the woman has lived.  Her home was one of the most lowly huts in the Catskill Mountains and far from the neatest.  Mrs. (sic) Scriver, who was 83 years old was unmarried and had lived with her brother Jonas Scriber at South Cairo for the past 26 years, although she was born in Ulster Co.  About a month ago her brother, her only support, was committed to the almshouse and the woman, unable to care for herself has probably died by inches.  It seems too bad that she had not been taken to the Almshouse with her brother, for if he was not able to support himself, she certainly was not able to support herself.  Old and helpless, death was undoubtedly welcome to her."

According to this newspaper account, she died in May 1908 at the age of 83.
