I must close, Elizabeth Wright Corey Elizabeth Wright Corey, some times called 'Betsy', was born in Dearborn, Ind¬iana, 6 March, 1816, being the eighth child of Peter Bice and Elizabeth Shed (Shedd-Shead) Wright. Her husband, Lyman Corey, whose death from consumption she describes so graph¬ically in her letter, was a Mormon. He received a patriarchal blessing from Hyrum Smith and was made a High Priest in January of 1845 in Nauvoo. Elizabeth was baptized in 1843 and also received a patriarchal blessing from Hyrum Smith. She brought her children to the Valley and married Ira Newton Spaulding, 19 September 1856. She was his second wife. She was living in Uintah at that time. Ira Newton and Elizabeth were living in Mountain Green in 1857 where their first child, Ira Eugene, was born in August of that year. Two other children were born to the couple: Isabell Ade¬laide in 1858; and Elizabeth (Betsy) in 1860. Betsy lived a short time and was buried in the Mountain Green Pioneer Cemetery. Elizabeth Wright Corey Spaulding died 23 April 1861 and was also buried in Mountain Green. As near as can be determined, Baby Betsy and her mother, Elizabeth, were the first two people to be buried in the little cemetery on the hill. CHERI GRANT 349
