Her funeral was held in the home.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have a little cake for Miss Lizzie,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Lee Ann Wilber, manager of the Lizzie Borden Bed &amp; Breakfast. <\/p>\n<p>Wilber said she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll host about six guests overnight to celebrate Lizzie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s birth.
