Today, we introduce you to the beautiful Emma Tolley Bryan.

Emma Tolley was born on Nov. 12, 1853 and along with her parents, help tame Sanpete and Juab Counties under the direction of Brigham Young of LDS Church fame. We are not sure of the exact photo date but suspect it is in the 1870's. My father called her "Aunt Emma", having two sisters(Sarah Jane & Elizabeth Ann) that married two of the local Jones boys(Edward & William). In Oct. of 1874, she married a Nephite dweller by the name of Joseph Bryan and both are now doing the Juab County two-step in the heavenly halls of glory. Information on the back was hand written by my father many years ago, whose writing I recognized. Sometimes, one has to grasp the past to understand the future! The photo will be held for four hours and then up for grabs to a Nephi Bryan family direct descendant, otherwise it will be given to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum in Nephi, Utah at 1600 hours on this date. Let it be written, let it be done.
