Elizabeth appeared in the U.S. Federal 1880 census as 16 years old, living with her Uncle Isham. She had been orphaned. The death certificate says she was born in 1867, her obituary states she was born 2 January 1866, but her headstone says 1865, which is more in line with the census. Her parents were William A. Bodiford and Mary Jane Watson. Her siblings were Rebecca Bodiford, Sandy Alexander Bodiford, and Sarah Jane Bodiford. She is buried in Kanosh, Millard County, Utah. Her sister, Sarah Jane Bodiford White is buried in City of Mesa Cemetery, Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona (Find A Grave Memorial# 35125992). Her brother, Sandy Alexander Bodiford, is buried at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery in Houston County, Alabama (Memorial # 66641719). I am still searching for Rebecca's info.
