HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

HAPPY,  BLESSED NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Wow,  our life has just begun

It may seem late on the calendar

O, but to much chatter and banter

The clock still ticks and the sun still spins

The world goes round and we  begin

A new endeavor, another round of try

A grey hair, a weak grin,  skin so dry,

Wow, our life has just begun

Just waiting for the setting sun.

Susi Pentico

Reach for the stars

Dangle thoughts of Mars,

Play for the moon

It shall soon be noon,

Look to each day with positive thoughts

Let not walk in dire, sad lots

Reach to each other for support and for care

For soon, our time will have shown grey hair

Hug your children and your friends

Go out of your way and make new ones

Life is to short to set and moan,

Get up and give a loud groan

Fight to live and to love and to care

For soon our time will be there

Alva JONES son of Calvin and Hannah JONES

Alva Jones and wife Zelia A Jones

I first learned of Alva in a college book listing he was at school there. It is packed away in a box from about 20 years ago.

Then expanding my research, cold calling was applied and I located some kin of his with the help of the Chamber of Commerce in Nashua, IA.

Later Charles Jones sent me data from his files out of Nashua, Ia area.

Alva shows in the Iowa State Census 1875 & 1905.

Alva is also with Zelia in the 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930.

He shows for draft in WW1.

Tombstone Tuesday in IOWA JONES, Calvin and Hannah Young Jones

As I am still looking for Calvin Fay Jones, grandmother, we are filling in the blanks on various areas on  my want list.

Today I will post Calvin Fay JONES tombstone and his wife Hannah Young JONES.
Remembering that Calvin's lineage is this:
Noel JONES b abt 1785 NY wife Susannah  ( last name not known)
source Rensselaer Co. NY Court House records, written in the book.
Noyes JONES birth is recorded by Noel and Susannah JONES

Noel states Noyes birth was 31 Mar 1809. He is father and Susannah is his mother.

1810 census shows NOEL, wife and 1 minor small child.  Petersburg, Rensselaer Co. NY.
No data on them found again.  DID disease take them? Did he die in War of 1812 since this is a family that bears arms often?  Did she die and he starts a complete new life with other people.
I think I find Noyes with Abel in the census due to his age and what is either his Grandfather or Great Uncle.  Abel's children are mature but he suddenly has a young man in his household.

Noyes marries Susan Madison around 1832 and has children in NY. 1 child in MASS.
Last child recorded was 1850 in NY was Charles.  By 1857 they are preparing to move to ILL.

Calvin and his brother William Harrison JONES fought in the CW in the same ILL  unit.
William Harrison is buried in Tenn.

Calvin died in 1910. Grandad (Carl Fremont) shared stories about his father though very few. He was a young man by the time his father  died.  My Father was born 3 years after his death.

Calvin Fay Jones, GAR, 1843-1910 & W. Harrison JONES 1841-1862

Calvin Fay JONES born in Petersburg, New York.
Died in Chickasaw, Iowa area.  GAR

He moved to Nunda, Illinois as a young man with his parents and family.
They left a large collateral family behind and many also came west already ahead of them.
He and his brother William Harrison Jones enlisted from  Nunda to serve in the War at Aurora, Ill.
Calvin lost his brother at Murfreesboro, Tenn.(Stones River) I have Calvin's service and medical records papers. They served from the same unit.

Calvin was buried, and given up as dead.  A family near, heard his moans and found dirt moving and dug it away and took him in and nursed him back to a bit of health. He walks back to Ill. He re-enlist to
to serve about 10 weeks and was mustered out again. Fought for 30+ years to get his pension back.I have copies of all the letters that were written to verify he was who he was. At least I think they are all of them, in his file.

I understood him to be a very kind gentle man and was well liked by all. My Grandfather looked much like his Dad but Calvin had blue eyes.  My Dad had the blue eyes also, and color of features as his Grandfather but different build. Calvin was thin and wiry. Dad was more stocky.  Grandad was thin and wiry also.

Calvin took a musket ball into the lower left chest and lost all the lower ribs front and back as I understand the medical data. Grandad said you could set on his lap and put your fist in his stomach and your knuckles showed on the back of his back.

Calvin and his sister Arvilla took possession of the land of his parents. I do not have the results of whom got the land at his demise.  In time, I hope to.

His family moved to Chickasaw County, Iowa area with other families.  1 sister stayed in ILL and was married, there.

Family moved around in Belmont, Floyd, Butler, Chickasaw County.  I have pictures of the tombstones.
