Story goes...
"When Jane was (about)8 years old, her mother died in Greenock, leaving her father with the raising and care of this large family. He became despondent after a while and his health began to fail him. He desided to take his family to America. They were to set sail from Liverpool on the ship "Wisconsin" in 1884. When they checked the passengers on the sailing list, the father was not to be found. A search was made and he was found lying across his wife's grave dead. His family were orphans, going to a strange land without support or finance to see them through after their arrival.
Among the passengers and listed with this family was an Uncle Robert Enoch Gray, a widower, brother to their mother Janet. He had one daughter, Emma M. Gray, listed as 26 years of age and it was this Uncle that came to the rescue and brought them on to America. After reaching the Salt Lake Valley and enduring many difficulties and hardships, they were sent to Pine Valley, Washington County, Utah by the LDS Church authorities to work in a shingle and lath shop to obtain means to make a home there for these orphans. Later Robert was having such a difficult time to care for them and to be working away from home, so he and one of the older girls of this family were married, this was Aunt Marion Dunn McMurtrie. As some of Marion's brothers and sisters grew older, she and Uncle Robert had a large family of their own. Several of the children died in childhood and only four lived to reach maturity, among these were Matt and Clyde of Central, , Utah.
As Jane grew up there in Pine Valley, it was at dances and parties and Church programs that Jane met a tall raw-boned bashful youth, David Wilson Tullis Jr. from Pinto. "Wilse" as he was called and Jane were married in the St. George Temple 13 Mar 1894.
..........
Jane was a mid-wife and delivered babies for miles around the area.
On 28 December 1921, Jane's son John M. Tullis died from pneumonia which the grief and the vacancy left in their lives was so terribly hard especially for his father Wilse.
This grief caused Wilse to become very ill. In a little over three months Wilse contracted pneumonia and he died 22 April 1922. This was so hard for Jane to loose them both in such a short time.
Jane's leg never healed and it was such a handicap to her as she had milk leg disease that caused running sores around her ankle and down her leg. "Phlegmasia alba dolens" literally means "painful white edema". It received the name "milk leg" because it was once thought to be caused by the metastasis of milk. She also suffered from bad spells of migraine headaches until the pain was unbearable.
Jane "gradually failed in health" until August 1832, she was only 58 years old when she died at Newcastle. She always put everyone else first. She was so kind and had suffered for so long. May God Bless her.
