According to the 1900 U.S. Census, 23-year old Elizabeth was working as a teacher and living with the Bishop. In October 1901, she married the Rev. Dr. William Paul Quinn Byrd, who in 1915, was appointed presiding elder of the Mississippi Annual Conference, Moorehead and Jonestown Districts. Prior to this appointment, he had pastored several churches in Colorado, Michigan and Mississippi. Elizabeth assisted him and served as president of the Northwest, MS Conference Branch of the W.H. & F. Society. Still, very little is known of Elizabeth’s life. In the 1916 Centennial Enclycloapedia of African Methodism, Bishop Wright referred to her as "Miss. E.V.P. Jones, daughter of Bishop J.H. Jones."

Here is what is known: Elizabeth died December 23, 1932 of an unknown cause, just 30 days after the Bishop. She is interred in Oaklawn Cemetery in Batesville, AR, where she was living at the time of the Bishop's death. In the 1930 Census, she is living in Chicago with her husband and two daughters, Vivian A. (b. 1915), and Azalia L. (b. 1920 or 1921) at 6517 Rhodes Avenue. According to Green County, OH court records, Vivian and Azalia were still living with their father in May 1933. The children were assigned to the guardianship of  William S. Rogers. It is unknown what happened to their father, Rev. William Byrd; the children’s connection to the guardian is unknown as well. Research into Elizabeth’s life and the lives of her children’s is ongoing.
