Elizabeth Taylor was born to a formerly enslaved couple, Louis Taylor and Anne Pocahontas Bolling Garrett on February 18, 1874 in Buckingham County, Virginia, the fourth of six children. After witnessing an construction accident in 1915 on a New York City Street that killed the mother of an eight-year-old girl propelled Mrs. Elizabeth T. Miller into a 38-year crusade to provide care for Staunton and Augusta County’s most indigent children, regardless of race.
