Elizabeth Potts
Elizabeth Potts (née Atherton; December 21, 1846 – June 20, 1890) was convicted of murder in 1889 and hanged the following year, the only woman ever to be legally executed in the U.S. state of Nevada. Her husband, Josiah Potts, was executed simultaneously, having also been convicted of the murder and partial dismemberment of Miles Faucett.
==Biography==
Elizabeth Atherton and Josiah Potts (1842–1890) were both born in Manchester, England. They married in 1863 and immigrated to the United States two years later, settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They became parents to at least five and as many as seven children (sources differ on the number), including a son named Charley (age 17 in 1890), a daughter who was 13 in 1890, and a daughter named Edith (born July 4, 1883).〔〔 The family moved west after Josiah, a machinist, got a job with the Central Pacific Railroad, at first in Terrace, Utah, and in 1886 in Carlin, Nevada. While living in Carlin, Elizabeth temporarily separated from Josiah, possibly due to financial hardships. While separated from her husband, Elizabeth traveled to Fresno, California, where she entered into a bigamous marriage with Miles Faucett, a carpenter who was also a native of England. The story of the marriage was not revealed publicly until it was uncovered by a San Francisco journalist some time after the Pottses had been executed for Faucett's murder.〔
As of 1887, Elizabeth had returned to her home in Carlin. Faucett also went to Carlin, where he took up residence as a boarder in the Potts household. He soon bought a nearby ranch and moved to his property, but visited the Potts home regularly because Elizabeth provided him with bread and washed his laundry.〔〔
