Update To Jones Family Photo, August 1919

In March, I did a blog post about a the photo taken in August 1919 at a birthday party for John R. Jones, probably taken in Hankinson, North Dakota.

Ray Quisenberry, another researcher interested in this Jones family, also has a copy of this photo.  His copy is of a higher quality than mine, and he has been working to try and identify the people in the photo.

Ray and his mother, Jennie Ruth (Jones) Quisenberry Wilson, attended a Jones family reunion about 1991, and people at that reunion helped identify some of the individuals in the 1919 photo.  Here is the photo again.


At the 1991 gathering, the following sketch was used to help identify the individuals:


Ray has added ? to the people we still have not identified or where we are not certain of the identity.  Here is Ray's work on identifying this group:
