John Mcpherson and Will Jones left Nephi in 1894, to serve an LDS Mission in the British Isles. Willaim had lost two children and departed his pregant wife to serve his church. We kept one of his journals and sent the other off to LDS Headquarters as it contained more profound and historical information that the Church was intersted in. On many occasions, Will Jones would find some of his relatives that his father told him about when he had left England to come to Zion in Utah. Will would send various photos of his family members, one of whcih is the young gal in the photo. Many Mormons from the British Isles couldn't afford the journey, put they put up the missionaries for a place to stay and something to eat. This is one that remained. Her name is Harriet Kalbeen. This photo, like many others are being sent to the local museum in Oldham, England.
