Jones and migrated to Ne.
Effies sister Marggie was my great great grandmother and she had a daughter named
Ila Isabel Wood (my grandmother) who married
Frank Leroy Hurlbert (I do not know where they were married.Ila was in the 1900 census listed with Maggie and James Wood
and again in the 1910 census as 16 years.
However family says she lived with Leslie
and Effie Jones in Nebraska between the ages
of 6 and 16, to be company to Effies son Claud .(Effie and Leslie had no chldren of their own) Ilamet my grandfather Frank Hurlbert in Nebraska?
or S.D.? and they were married and lived in
Colome S.D. by the year 1912 when their first
child was born.Anyone with any knowledge
of my grandparents or greatgrandparents
