Here are some diary notes from 1895 then 1942

Can you remember what you did yesterday, or last week! I don't, but know what my father-Alma Jones was doing on Feb. 1st, 1942, and what his father-Wm. Jones was doing in Feb., 1895. Wm. Jones was on an LDS mission in England at the time of his entries. Although married, he and and Elder McPherson, both of Juab County, were called to England, and expected to search out relatives for food, lodging and then convert people to the Mormon church. The photos are from their journal era.
