"Pioneer Lady Answers Last Call
Funeral services over the remains of Sister Elizabeth Benson were held at 2:30 p.m., May 7th, at Francis, Summit Co., Utah, with Bp. Marion Corbett presiding. Six grand-sons acted as pallbearers.
Bishop Corbett and Coun. Atkinson had both known Aunt Elizabeth - as they affectionately called her - for many years and testified of her industry and unselfishness, her kindness to many who were sick or in want, and her devotion to her religion. During the services a solo and three songs by the choir were beautifully rendered. Her brother Michasell [Michael] Standly [Standley], made some remarks and endorsed what had been said.
After the dedication of the grave she was laid to rest in the Francis cemetery.
