This photo had been placed in a letter sent to Alma Jones of Nephi many years ago. The photo was taken for the Golden Anniversary of Dell and Zelda on Dec. 10, 1967. Although Dell(Warren Bardell Jones) was born in Eureka in 1896, he grew up in Nortonville, the son of Wm. and Elizabeth Tolley Jones. Unlike his brother-Vic who was tall, Dell was short, but very thick. After returning from World War I in France, he traveled to Idaho to work potatoes, and stayed with his "Idaho Tolley" cousins. He was built like a brick, and had the reputation of being able to pick up a hundred pound bag of potatoes and throw one on each shoulder and load in the truck.
