Jones Family - August 1919

 Update:  Ray Quisenberry, an avid Jones researcher, has been working to identify the people in this photo.  Here is an updated post with his work.

This group photo was taken at the gathering celebrating John R. Jones' 63rd birthday in August 1919.  It was probably taken in Hankinson, ND.


While I suspect many of these people are family members, I am only able to identify a few.

I have numbered the individuals in the copy below:


John R. Jones is seated in the center of the group and is holding a baby.  He is #25.

Mary Elva (Stilwell) Jones (John R.'s wife) is #33 in the back on the left.

I will add identifications as I discover them.

2) Jennie Ruth Jones, daughter of David J. & Jennie S. (Hannum) Jones
