Lizzy was the sister of Edward Lacey, who married Phineas' sister Melvina. Phineas and Lizzy had a daughter Edda in Washington, but were living in Massachusetts at the time of their daughter Elsie's birth, and Phineas' death in 1893.
Lizzie went back to Tacoma with the two girls. In 1910, Lizzy and her two daughters were living with the Brown family in Durham, Maine. The Browns and the McArthurs can be found on a list of members of a religious sect, The Kingdom. (see the website for this sect)

This sect went through some very difficult times while the McArthur family was living there. There were often shortages of food, and severe punishment of children was tolerated, even encouraged. After the death of some of the children, the leader was accused and convicted of murder, and the community started to fall apart.
Mrs Lizzie L. McArthur, 92, of 135 Meadow Ave., died in her home yesterday. She was the widow of Phineas McArthur. Mrs McArthur was born in England. She retired 17 years ago as an inspector for the Kleinerts Rubber Co., College Point, NY. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Elsie McArthur, Dublin, NH and two grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
