Not sure how they measured it, but apparently a team of Ox could travel at 3 miles per hour.

This is the family photo of the Will and Liz Tolley Jones family of Nephi, Utah. It was taken on April 9, 1935. They had lost two young boys early in their marriage. The remaining kids were actually fun and happy people, but back then, folks were camera shy as they weren't sure it was a camera or a gun! Starting on the back left would be Pearl Jones Ockey, then Grant, Alma, Bert, Vic and Dell Jones; then Norma Jones Kay. On the front is Pa and Ma Jones and daughter Erma Jones Garrett. Then we have the typed funeral speeches, prayers and so forth.
