Liz Tolley was born on March 27, 1865, the daughter of Wm. Fisher and Sarah Warren Tolley of Nephi, Utah, and was considered the first wife of Wm. On another occasion, we will give a life sketch of her but today will just be the funeral services for her which were in 1941. She was before my time, but I saw this woman as a noble daughter of God, and a very independent but valor servant to her family, people and all. She had already lost two of her sons when young, and pregnant when she supported her husband-Wm. Jones, who went to the British Isles on an LDS Mission without a penny, and left the Nortonville farm up to his strong wife. First photo is of Wm. and Liz on 50th Wedding Anniversary.
