Maria,
Since there were only a few Streets that had a name back then, most were just a path and were named latter.
From the History Of Clifton Area Streets
ELIZABETH AVENUE (E-W). Originally appeared on St. Louis street maps in 1878 in the subdivisions of property of Gabriel Jones and others. Elizabeth traces its origin to the Hebrew Elisheba, "possibly `oath of God' or `God is satisfaction/perfection'." In the Biblical Old Testament, the Book of Exodus, Elizabeth was the wife of Aaron. (Clifton)
I also uploaded a better map for you 1878 Pitzman Clifton Area Map to check out.
There were several land owners on Elizabeth in the Clifton Area, what hundred are you interested in? If you want to PM me the address, I'll see what I can find out for you.
