I recall reading my grandfather's LDS Missionary's Dairy from the 1800's when Wm. Jones departed Nortonville, and asked his pregnant wife to take care of the farm, with the help of the other Tolley and Jones family. She did, and while Wm. was on his mission, their son Vic Jones was born. Wm. and another Nephite by the name of McPherson took the ship to Liverpool. That is just a foundational story, as both the Jones and McPherson were key farmers in Juab County, but it was time when all neighbor's pitched in to help each other.........which may be a thing of only the past. Anywho, the two pictured ladies are of the same generation, when both were raised to take care of their family and the farm. I knew both well, and can't think of any more beautiful and high class ladies. Nephi families lost two noble queens, but Heaven gained two Angelic Angels. I have previously wrote about their family members and often think how well each of them succeeded on life on earth.
Kent, Thank you for sharing this. I have a photograph of my great Granddad John Evan Harris and Grandmother Sadie (Tolley) Harris with Erma Garrett in a buggy with them. I also found a photo that I don't think any other Harris has ever seen of Erma and Sadie that is found on the BYU archives website. Let me know if you would like to see these photos and I'll send them to you in messenger.
