Conversion Story:
We know very little about Eliza Ann Price other than what is on group sheets. She was born on May 13, 1833, in Kington, Hereford, England, which is very close to the border with Wales. Her parents were John and Mary Jane Johnson Price, and she was apparently the second or third of three daughters. DeVaun seemed to remember her mother (Hazel Haight) telling her that Hazel’s grandmother (Eliza Ann Price) was supposed to have been a lady-in-waiting to the Queen of England before she emigrated to Utah. DeVaun remembered Hazel saying how proud Eliza Ann was and how Hazel remembered brushing her grandmother’s long, long hair. We do not know how accu¬rate the lady-in-waiting story is or if it has been embellished over the years, but we know that Eliza Ann was baptized in May 1850 at age 17. She met Isaac while he was on his mission to England and probably immigrated with Isaac’s company of English saints. There is no information on our group sheets to suggest that any of her imme¬diate family joined the church or came with her to Utah. In any event, at age 20 she began her married life as one of two new wives to Isaac Chauncey Haight, and four days later the family moved to Cedar City.
