Wordless Wednesday – Kenneth Jones

Here is a photograph of my mom’s cousin, Kenneth Jones, son of Evan and May Breneman Jones, in front of the high school at Kingman, Kansas.
Kenneth and his wife Lois had five children and lived in Duluth, Minnesota on Morris Thomas Road.
Kenneth’s mother, May Breneman Jones Willey lived with them for awhile, and then went into a nursing home called Nopemming (sp?).
Kenneth, Lois, and my great-aunt May have all passed away, and sad to say, we have lost touch with their children, and though I’ve tried to locate them, the last name of Jones is making that difficult.
We visited them several times when I was growing up, and I have very fond memories of horse-back riding at the neighbors, picking wild strawberries, and going agate hunting along one of the many lakes with Kenneth and his family.
Kenneth’s father, Evan Jones, is buried in the Osborne Cemetery, Sumner County, Kansas, near Mayfield.





Great memories, I sure hope you will be able to trace Kenneth’s children someday. Keep on trying
Thank you so much! I have some ideas for tracing them, but I’ve not implemented them yet, and I need to do that. The Duluth older papers might actually be online, so that might be helpful. Thanks for stopping by…
Sherry, I really love this picture. Isn’t it amazing how many of the old schoolhouses look alike? This could be an old school in Ohio.
Hope someday you will be able to make contact with the family. Those “Jones” and “Smith’s” and “McBrides” can really drive you crazy!
Thanks for stopping by! In high school, I had a crush on a nice-looking, blond-headed, blue-eyed McBride boy. Wouldn’t it be a small world if he were some of your kin!
