[*This obituary mentions Mrs. May Pitt of Nephi, and then Mrs. Pitt of Tooele – these apparently are the same person, Elizabeth May Pitt, and therefore is a typo.  It also references Mrs. Amy Worwood twice, which is a typo.  Incidentally, (Emma) Louisa Jensen also married a Pitt – her first Husband, Leonard Nicholi, who died very young, whose older brother, John W. Pitt married Louisa’s sister, the Mrs. May Pitt referenced in this obituary.  Louisa then married Charles C. Jensen.]
