Ann Elizabeth Hodges of Sylacauga, Alabama is the only person of record to have been hit by a meteorite. On November 30, 1954, she was napping on her living room couch when a space rock weighing approximately 4 kg (9 lbs.) crashed through the roof of her house. It bounced off her large console radio, which it destroyed, and struck her on the arm and hip. She suffered a bad bruise but escaped permanent injury.
Elizabeth Mahoney persuaded me that it would benefit the Elizabeth Nesbitt Room, and she gives the orders in the library of our school, so I must do as I am told.
Lest we forget, Elizabeth Nesbitt was born in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River.
Elizabeth Keith Botset, a friend and a graduate of Carnegie Library School, belonged to a family in which librarianship was a hereditary profession.
