Identifier	UAF-1994-70-72
Title	Old Eliza walking in Stevens Village
Description	Title from cataloger. Photograph of Old Eliza walking in Stevens Village with a log building in the background. Narrative from photo album reads : "Here are two pictures of our famous 'Old Eliza.' She was our first caller, early on the first morning, before breakfast. She came in without knocking, all the way thru to the kitchen. She spoke no English, but by signs and repeated 'abas' she said her stomach was sick. I gave her a tablespoonful of undiluted spirits of camphor from the medicine chest, and she liked it! We learned that she was an inveterate beggar and very fond of medicine, which is the only thing the government furnishes free, besides education. She always wore a pair of men's trousers under her skirt as underclothes. They had no support and it was a comical sight to see Old Liza stop anywhere on the street and readjust her trousers."
