Joe was born on Oct. 13, 1871 and passed away on July 15, 1931. We are assuming the traveling photo man took this around 1885. Joe is one of the many kids of Edward Jones and Martha Jackson Jones. Martha Jackson, and her brother-Nephi Jackson were survivors of the Martin Handcart Company, many of who were meant with disaster when they encountered heavy snow and storms near Hell's Gate in Wyoming. Brigham Young of Mormon Fame directed those people to Nephi, Utah where Edward became a farmer and Blacksmith, living below the tracks that not yet been laid there, where Blake Garrett's family live now. Martha had a good relationship with the First wife of Edward Jones(Hannah Pendlebury) and sealed by Brother Brigham himself. We will also have a copy of the genealogy sheet which shows the connection. We also submit photo's of Lizzie Cazier and Louisa Broadhead, who were full sisters to my grandfather-Wm. Jones. From all I gather, the polygamy wives of Edward Jones got along with all very good, but to make sure, this writer has placed his tombstone next to his great grand father-Edward, and his two wives, just in case Heaven turns to Hell and I have to step in. Years ago while going through these old photos, my father(Alma-grandson of Edward Jones) drove to the home where the picture was taken of Louisa and Eliza and my old notes show it was the home south of where Grant and Treba Jones lived, which was on the corner of about 2nd South and 2nd East in Nephi.
