Wordless Wednesday – May Breneman Jones Willey

Here is my almost Wordless Wednesday, a photograph of my Great-Aunt May Breneman Jones Willey in front of her son’s family’s home in Minnesota.
May’s parents were Constantine “Tom” and Salinda (Rose) Breneman. May’s first husband was Evan Jones, son of Willis W. and Martha Ellen (Smith) Jones. Willis W. and Martha Ellen originally came from Kentucky, and moved to the Midwest, living in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Evan and May’s son’s name was Kenneth Jones. Kenneth and his wife Lois had five children: Lawrence, Lynn, Patty, Charlie, and Kenny, and I hope one of the children, or even their children find this post, and will leave a message.
I have many happy memories of visiting Aunt May and their family in Minnesota, and we would love to re-connect with them.





Hi, Haven’t seen a post from you in awhile. Hope all is well. I’ll bet Aunt May was like my Aunt Lillian — never visited without a gift in hand. The gift may not have been expensive, with wrapped and given with respect and love.
I don’t remember my great Aunt coming here to visit. By the time I remember meeting her, she was elderly, and stayed at home in Minnesota and we went to visit her. She did, however, when I was probably less than 10 years old, make me the most beautiful quilt, which I used for awhile till it began to show wear then stopped, it was a sunbonnet sue quilt with the kids all doing something different. It is awesome, and one of these days I will photograph it and post it on Treasure Thursday!
