I don't know if any of you knew the name of Grandma Judd (Bertha Jones b.1886) little sister she mentions in her history. I did not & my mother or sister did not either. So I went searching. The information I had was that she was born & died in Draper, Utah. I knew by the 1900 & 1910 census that her father, Alfred Thomas Jones b.1858 & her mother, Mary Eliza Cooley b.1856 had 12 children & that 9 were still living at those times.
I also knew by cemetery records on namesinstone.com & findagrave.com that Raymond Jones b.1891 (her brother) was buried in Draper City Cemetery & that there was an Emily Jones buried next to him.
It took a phone call to the Draper City Cemetery to have them look up any information they had. There are no headstones for these two. I was informed that Thomas Jones owned the two graves. I am certain that Emily is the daughter listed on Family Search as just "daughter". I will be making the change to reflect this.
If anyone has any further information regarding this, please let me know. I have not been able to locate a birth or death certificate for her as of yet.
