After the murders of abby borden and andrew borden, lizzie borden sold the old house on 92 second street and build a new home across town On "the hill" which was where the rich of fall river lived. she named her new manor 'maplecroft' and etched it into the concrete steps in the front of her home.
Lizzie lived with emma for a while. However, her neighbors and her past-friends abandoned her. lizzie changed her name (not legally) to "lizbeth", so as to avoid some of the persecution of her neighbors. lizzie often spent time alone, visiting the theater (which she was FASCINATED in). She loved it so much, she invited actors, actresses, and traveling performing groups to stay in her house and often threw lavish parties for actresses and actors. sick of this, emma borden left her sister and moved to another part of MASSACHUSETTS, never talking to her sister again.
lizzie died on june 1, 1927 to pneumonia. in her will, she left nothing for her sister, emma, and $30,000 to the animal rescue service of fall river. she was very fond of animals
