Elizabeth died when she was 25. She is buried in the old pioneer cemetery in South Weber. Her son David is buried next to her. He only lived a few months. To find the cemetery, from Highway 89 - take exit 85 towards Uintah and South Weber. Turn left at the stop sign and then turn right on the gravel driveway that says "South Weber Historical Cemetery." Her son Louis (my grandfather) went to the cemetery after he grew up, not knowing where the graves were and asked someone. (He was only five when his mother died.) The farmer asked if it was a mother and child and he told them where he thought they were buried. Louis bought headstones and put them there. Later, when South Weber got a federal grant to make it a pioneer cemetery, someone started taking care of the grounds and put markers on all the graves. A few years ago, the Boy Scouts did some work in the cemetery and moved a lot of the headstones. Elizabeth and David's are now in a completely different place than they used to be.
