About 1905-1906
Harrison, Arkansas
The family left Arkansas in 1912. Charles F. Jones arrived in Bremerton circa 1908-1909.
At the time of this picture Samuel had already left home and had married in Seattle in
1904 and was living in either Seattle or Bremerton. Samuels older sister Esther Almira, a half-sister to Charles F. Jones, had died in Renton, Washington in 1901.
(As mentioned in an earlier posting, the photo had a large damaged spot on the cheek of Charles Jones. What you see is the result of an unskilled attempt to repair the image.)
About 1911-1912, Bremerton
All the individuals are identified on the back. Since Dad's first wife, Pearl Baker is not in the photo, the date may have been prior to their marriage in October of 1912. It is assumed the location is somewhere in Bremerton.
About 1911-1912,Bremerton-
Presumably taken the same day as the previous group photograph
About 1913-1917 in Bremerton
From Left, Back Row: Sam, Bill (Bill died in 1917), Charles
Front: Albert, A.H. Jones and Grady.
About 1915-1917, Bremerton
For some unknown reason, Eula nor Bertha, Sam’s wife, are not present for this family photograph.
In some ways the individuals appear older than what their actual ages are. Since all five of the Jones sons are present, and knowing Bill, standing second from the left, died in 1917 the photo date really has to be around the time of his death.
| 1 | A.H. Jones, about 72 years of age |
| 2 | Albert Sidney, 33 yrs. |
| 3 | William Tate, 32 yrs |
| 4 | Henry Grady, 26 yrs |
| 5 | Lillian Ruth, 22 yrs |
| 6 | Allen T. Mogford, 28 yrs (Husband of Ruth) |
| 7 | Mae Ruth Rutledge, 17 yrs (Granddaughter to A.H. Jones, Daughter of Esther Almira Jones) |
| 8 | Samuel Alfred, 38 yrs |
| 9 | Pearl (Baker) Jones, 23 yrs (Wife of Charles) |
| 10 | Charles Franklin, 35 yrs |
| 11 | Unknown |
| 12 | Unknown |
| 13 | Unknown |
About 1921, Bremerton
This photo was probably taken very near the time of death of A.H. Jones in March of 1922 judging by the age of the child, Allen Mogford Jr. being held by his father. Allen Jr. was born in 1920 and around a year old perhaps in this family group. Our Grandfather was 78 years old at this time. He was 78 years and 10 months old when he died.
Again, Eula is not present nor Bill who had died about four years prior.
| 1 | Pearl Baker Jones, Wife of Charles |
| 2 | Charles F. |
| 3 | Grady |
| 4 | Bertha, Wife of Samuel |
| 5 | Sam |
| 6 | Allen Mogford |
| 7 | Allen Mogford Jr. |
| 8 | A.H. Jones |
| 9 | Albert |
| 10 | Mae Ruth Rutledge, Granddaughter |
| 11 | Unknown |
| 12 | Probably Loreta Mogford, Ruth’s oldest child |
| 13 | Probably Norma, daughter of Bertha & Sam |
| 14 | Ruth Jones Mogford |
Maybe between 1935-1940
From Left: Eula, Pearl, Martha, Grady, niece Mae Ruth Rutledge (later Orchard) and Ruth
The date of this photo has me baffled making the credibility of the date questionable.
The following four photos were all taken on the same day. It appears to have been taken in the front of Ruth’s house on fourth street in Bremerton.
About mid 1940’s to maybe 1949.
From Left: Eula, Martha, Ruth, Pearl.
Pearl had traveled from her home in the Joplin, Missouri area and Martha, or Mat or Mattie as she was also known, lived in the Los Angeles, California area.
From Left: Aunt Bert, wife of Samuel Jones, Pearl, Eula, Ruth, unknown and Martha
From Left: Charles F., Grady and Samuel
From Left: Charles, Martha, Eula, Samuel, Ruth, Pearl and Grady.
Missing is Albert. Three others had already passed away, Esther Almira Rutledge in 1901, Mary Lou Ramsey in 1913 and brother William (Bill) Tate Jones in 1917
