Lindley.
..The other Lizzie (Oliver) didn't
move to
..Livermore until 1871. However,
another
..account in the paper years later
stated that
..J. C. McLeod had hired "'Aunt
Lizzie" as a
..cook at a hotel he owned in Centerville
..and then she moved to Livermore
and he
..filed his subdivision map naming
the street
..after her. In 1927 the city changed
the
..street name to Livermore Avenue.
(For
..the record, John Oliver, longtime
reporter
..and then editor of the Herald
in the early
..1970s, is not a descendant of
Lizzie.)
