Looking for information about Esther Irene Jones~Bussard
Greetings All!!
Here's hoping that someone out there can help me with researching this part of my lineage...
My G-Grandmother's name was Esther Irene Jones~Bussard. She was born in Del Norte, Colorado on January 4, 1903. She married Ray Sanford Bussard ( another line in the family tree that I am researching) on March 19, 1921. She died on September 28, 1998, in Vernal, Utah. She was 95 years of age.
Her Father was Martin F. Jones. He died on January 15, 1935, at this time no other info is known about him, other than he married his wife on October 15, 1890.
Her mother was Mittie Smith. She was born in Gordonville, KY. in 1865. There is also tale that she was born in Mammoth Cave, KY. She is said to have been a civil-war orphan who's parents died at the tender age of 5yrs old. From there she was cared for by relatives in Hillsboro, IL. According to her obituary it appears she may have met & married her husband in Hillsboro, IL., however that is not confirmed. She died on May 4, 1948 in Dove Creek, CO., at the age of 82 yrs of age.
Together they had six children; Mrs. Jennie Warren of Dove Creek, CO., Frances Jones of Antelope, TX., Lewis Jones of Rico, CO., Walter Jones of Dove Creek, CO., Mrs. Esther Jones~Bussard of Grantsville, UT. & the last of their children preceded his parents in death, Paul Jones of Dove Creek, CO., on June 1, 1924.
