But, I'm back! After a trip to Iowa 2 weeks ago, I'm now armed with new great info on my great-grandfather Thomas John Jones. I had a chance to visit the Iowa State Historical Society in Des Moines and came away with 2 great documents on T. J. like his bio from a book that has an awesome title:<br />

By the time this came into print, T.J. was diseased. Sad that he didn't get to see it. He died in August 1911 and the book was released in November from the printers.<br />
<br />
PG 577 & 578<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>THOMAS J. JONES, M. D</b>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are some brave souls whom no adversity casts down and
no difficulty thwarts. They seem by divine right of mastership to turn every
obstacle to advantage and the lesson of their lives is unanswerable argument in
favor of the claim that man makes circumstances and that he has the power
within himself to rise superior to every environment. Such is the teaching of
the life of Dr. Thomas J. Jones, of Des Moines, who started as a poor boy in
Wales and has won a. place alongside the favored sons of America. He was born
in Wales, March 3, 1854, his parents being David and Margaret (Jenkins) Jones.
The father was a veterinary surgeon. He died in 1858, leaving a widow and a
family of five children practically without means of support. The mother like a
brave and loyal-hearted woman faced the emergency and she continued the
remainder of her life in her native country, passing away in 1893, when she was
more than eighty years of age. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the early age of ten years Thomas J. Jones went to work
in the mines to assist in supporting the family. He received four shillings or
about one dollar in American money per week. At sixteen he became a clerk in
the grocery store of his brother-in-law, under whom he continued about two
years, when his sister died and he was apprenticed to the carpenter's trade.
According to the terms of the agreement he was to receive one shilling a week
and board for the first year and two shillings and board during the second
year. Before the close of the second year, however, he was offered four shillings
a day to build houses for the operators of the mines and his master kindly
permitted him to accept this offer, which proved an important step in his
progress. At twenty-one years of age he became a contractor on his own account,
making money which enabled him to provide more liberally than previously for
the other members of the family. Shortly after this time he took up the study
of medicine at home, purchasing books to which he devoted his spare time.
Believing that the new world presented more favorable opportunities than he
could expect to find in Wales, he came to America in February, 1883, and on the
7th of March following arrived in Des Moines where he readily found employment
as a carpenter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, he had not given up the idea of continuing the
study of medicine and in 1884 became a student in the medical department of
Drake University, from which he was graduated February 19, 1887, with the
degree of M. D. He took a post-graduate course in the Iowa Eclectic Medical
College, receiving the degree from that institution March 15, 1889. During his
attendance at university and college he worked at his trade and thus earned the
money with which to pay necessary expenses. He practiced at Bevington, Iowa,
until October, 1903, since which time he has successfully engaged in practice
at Des Moines. He was the founder of the Seno Medicine Company of this city,
which was organized in 1902 and has been in successful operation ever since,
the Seno Powders having gained a splendid reputation wherever introduced. In
1907 Dr. Jones sold: his interest in this company to his brother and .shortly
afterward put on the market the Heal-O Powder through the Berg Medicine
Company, of which he is a heavy stockholder. He is a member of the National and
Iowa State Eclectic 578 Societies, and takes an active interest in all
movements calculated to advance his profession. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the 29th of June, 1874, Dr. Jones was married at Glyntaff
church, Treforest, Wales, to MISS Jemima Walker, who died in July, 1893,
leaving five children, namely; David, who is engaged in the postal service at
Des Moines; Margaret, the Wife of John Henry, of Bevington, Iowa; Maria, the
Wife of Mote Newman, Of Spokane, Washington; Agnes, the Wife of Ralph Masser,
of Spokane; and Anna, also a resident of that city: In March, 1895, Dr. Jones
married Mrs. Mary B. (Steele) Bell, the widow of Thomas Bell, a native of
Madison county, Iowa. By this union one, son has been horn, Arvon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
While a resident of Bevington Dr. Jones served as president
of the school board. He is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and has
served as medical examiner for that order for over twenty years, first at
Bevington, and later at Des Moines. Politically he is identified with the
progressive element of the republican party, and religiously he upholds the
doctrines of the Methodist church. As a student of subjects pertaining to his
profession he is tireless, being an indefatigable investigator who never counts
time or labor spent in acquiring knowledge as to the cause and cure of
diseases. His record is in a remarkable degree creditable, as he has won his
way by rare perseverance and self-denial and is deserving of the confidence and
esteem of all with whom he comes into contact.<o:p></o:p></div>

As mentioned in that post, I attended a family reunion where we had a dinner that had 5 generations from Great-Uncle Dick at 86 to a 1 month old angle. I got to go visit Dick and Bev at their apartment and had a wonderful time.<br />
<br />
A little back history: My great grandmother Carrie May delivered 8 children, grandma was born in 1905, while her youngest brother Dick was born in 1926 (Surprise!) So, when grandma started having children, (the first being Uncle Lou b. 1925), her mother was still having children. Dick & my mom were both born in the same year, so that meant they were in school together. However, no one ever knew that their relationship was as the school was very large and the did the classes in shifts (September and January starts) Uncle Lou, Dick & Mom did not see each other very often at school, but Dick often was at their house to play while they were growing up.<br />
<br />
Bev brought out the family history box that she & Dick have. It was full of many wonderful things that I would love to get my hands on.<br />

I did a post about Willard O. Simpson a while ago and saw for the first time his medals that Dick & Bev had in boxes. On the left is his Purple Heart and on the right an Air Medal with 2 oak leaves.

I also took a copy of a letter that said his body had been recovered, but that was followed by another letter that said they had identified the wrong person and apologized for the error. Of course, we know from the MARC records of another service man on the Marie Jane that Staff Sargent Willard O. Simpson was killed prior to them getting the bombs into Wilhelmshaven Germany u-boat pens, on the 21st of May, 1943. I can understand now why there was so much mystery around his death and the family didn't know exactly where his plane went down.<br />
<br />
I very much enjoyed talking with Dick. He has a great sense of humor however, getting him to talk about his childhood was like pulling teeth.Jan Jones Bonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212773411233654623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669043444797910931.post-21203156710549165092013-06-05T09:54:00.004-07:002013-06-05T10:14:13.665-07:00June 2013 already<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3DdEYkU7UyPdw858sPhKn7h_0EyLJkKezXS_-cf1yUEwLUyhyphenhyphen8TY-X0LvX4bG7LdyIr_qMLKtcH7tLhbymofQUYkr4NFNDY1fJVvzzIM4hEe5hyphenhyphenipf1SMqtc0CYXZXZUjVcxoNfx_ctU/s1600/chicago.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3DdEYkU7UyPdw858sPhKn7h_0EyLJkKezXS_-cf1yUEwLUyhyphenhyphen8TY-X0LvX4bG7LdyIr_qMLKtcH7tLhbymofQUYkr4NFNDY1fJVvzzIM4hEe5hyphenhyphenipf1SMqtc0CYXZXZUjVcxoNfx_ctU/s320/chicago.jpg" width="320" /></a>Vancouver has been wonderful! Being semi-unemployed, I've been able to do a great deal of genealogy research. Spring here was beautiful. Watching the birds, squirrel and leaves come on the trees. It is amazing the changes that happened just in the month of May.<br />
<br />
Special things that happened since I last posted:<br />

A tour of the parking lots at the Indy Speedway and many other exciting places. I got a couple things taken off my bucket list on that trip. We got to spend a week there visiting and touring.<br />
<br />
Spent the winter going once a month back to central Oregon to O.F.C.O. for work. My retirement from them lasted to the week before Thanksgiving when they called with several disasters that I went down and cleaned up. I've been going down about once a month since then to work and catch up. Lots of changes happening there that are both good and bad.<br />

My next trip with mom was to Iowa for her sister's 60th High School reunion and the "all classes" dinner. She also had her 60th Lutheran Hospital Nursing school reunion. So, we threw in a Cousin reunion dinner on a Thursday night, then a Heggen/Simpson reunion on Friday night where there were 5 generations, from age 86 to age 1 mo. (This doesn't count the bun in the oven). Another trip that was very fun. <br />
The trip home was not so great, our plane from Des Moines was delayed by an hour, causing us to miss our connection in Denver and we had to spend the night there, I was given the choice of separate room or sharing, so we had separate rooms for the night. Kinda fun :-)<br />
<br />
My darling daughter Elin has only another week or so of school and she will officially be a Junior in high school. Holy Cr**! She has 3 days of what they are calling "newbie" soccer this week and also testing at school. Official last day is June 18th. I have to be back in Redmond on the 19th of June for 3 days; 1) to attend a retirement party, and 2) to get some work done.<br />

<br />
Tab 1: census extracts, I tried to include all the major categories in some way, generally a lot of info falls into the miscellaneous column, but I try to put as much as I can. Doing this, I discovered that one ancestor delivered 10 children but only 6 survived. I now know why there are some big gaps in ages of the siblings.<br />
<br />
tab 2: extracts from misc. databases like marriage, immigration info, military service or mentions in newspapers and books (not city directories);<br />
<br />
tab 3: is city directories. <br />
<br />
Headings for tabs 1 & 2<br />
Year, Document, Location, Last, First, Age, Approx. Date of Birth, Misc., Birth, Occupation<br />
<br />
Heading for tab 3<br />
Year, Document, Location, Last, First, Address, Occupation ~( my goal here is to list all the names and address of my Des Moines, Iowa ancestors so I can figure out how they came together.)<br />
<br />
All family members are listed, there is no separate page for different branches in the 3 tabs. In listing people out this way, I have discovered such wonderful information; a 3rd G. Uncle was "adopted" by my 4G grandparents.<br />
<br />
I set it up so that when I entered a year (document date) and the age of a person, it gave back an approximate year of birth. Most all census' after 1850 give at least an age.<br />
<br />
Once I got all existing saved documentation into the spreadsheets, I began really looking at the results. One of the nice things about spreadsheets is being able to sort. Data can be sorted by any of the headings. I sorted by name & age. I was then able to pick out the head of household and determine where I needed to search next. Small details that I had never paid any attention to started showing up in following both census records and city directories. The main one was the different jobs that people had. Below are the jobs that I have found for 4 generations.<br />
<br />
<table>

<tr><td>Farmer</td><td>Physician</td><td>Day Laborer</td><td>Police Officer</td></tr>
<tr><td>Nurse</td><td>Civil Engineer</td><td>Sheet Metal Worker </td><td>Door to Door Sales</td></tr>

And I'm not even through all the family members. So, I guess it is back to work on genealogy. Till next time...<br />

Wee! Here was the mission:
<br />
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">1) What year was one of your great-grandfathers born? Divide this number by 100 and round the number off to a whole number. This is your "roulette number."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">2) Use your pedigree charts or your family tree genealogy software program to find the person with that number in your ancestral name list (some people call it an "ahnentafel" - your software will create this - use the "Ahnentafel List" option, or similar). Who is that person, and what are his/her vital information?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">3) Tell us three facts about that person in your ancestral name list with the "roulette number."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">4) Write about it in a blog post on your own blog, in a Facebook status or a Google Stream post, or as a comment on this blog post.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">5) NOTE: If you do not have a person's name for your "roulette number" then "spin" the wheel again - pick a great-grandmother, a grandfather, a parent, a favorite aunt or cousin, yourself, or even your children!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">MY RESULTS:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">No matter which great-grandfather I picked, I ended up with the same result, 19 so I'm settling on Ole E. Simpson, my mother's grandfather. He was born in in 1880 in North Branch, Jewell Co. Kansas and died Mar 21 1946 in Des Moines, Polk Co Iowa. He was a Latherer by trade (installed lath, small strips of wood that made the walls back then).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">The number 19 comes back to my cousin Carol Jae (Heggen) Patterson.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">Carol is a couple years younger than me. I always remember her as the straight woman for her older sister's jokes. She has 5 beautiful children. Most of those have given her beautiful grandchildren. Carol and her husband Joe follow in the time honored tradition of being farmers. They work hard at both the farm and in their family showing their love for each other. Carol is not on the computer much. As far as I know, she doesn't use facebook, twitter or anything other than email. She uses email rarely. She is a rare breed. 2 of her 3 daughters are very active on facebook and if it wasn't for them, I would have no clue as to what was going on in this branch of the family. The boy's have their wives who do the posting. It is a fun branch having little ones in it.</span></div>

I had to spend 2 long weeks in my home town working, and did not have internet at my mom's place. One of the good things that came out of the trip was setting up my father-in-law with an Ancestry account. I had been using Ancestry at the public library with some success, but now at home, with my other research tools and my own computer, I have made great strides. I finally began a spread sheet time line of all the census, city directory, and misc. information from the internet that I had been saving on my laptop.<br />
<br />
When listed on a census or in a city directory, I have collected the type of job an ancestor had. Where a job name repeats, it is for a different person, except in the shoe department. The progression from works in a shoe shop to being a propriter is for one person. Dates on this range from 1842 to 1940 and covers 4 generatons.<br />

My great grandfather was fined $25.00 for having a drug store with out being a registered pharmacist. He was a physician, a graduate of Drake School of Medicine in Des Moines, Polk Co. Iowa. He belonged to the Iowa Eclectic Physicians. Not bad for a young man who had 8 years of primary school, was a miner in Wales, traveled to the US and worked as a carpenter on the Iowa State House in the late 1880's.<br />
<br />
It has been a fun journey, first receiving the journal he wrote, then gathering data on him. The best finds were the attached letter and prescription.<br />

I've been tracing his father's side of the family and having lots of fun doing it. At one point, I hit a sticking spot, so I went off on a tangent back to my mom's side of the family. Since I was already working in Illinois on Nick's Keller line, I decided to do a little poking around on my Wilkinson line. I've been having problems finding when & where Phineas R. Wilkinson passed away. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I came across a database that had military issued headstone receipts. Listed was my Phineas showing that a headstone had been issued and that the cemetery was Village Cemetery Ottawa, La Salle, Illinois. Find A Grave did not list this cemetery. I then came across a listing of early deaths in Ottawa and his death was registered as #34 (wasn't I lucky, they had just started registering deaths) I also found that the La Salle Genealogical Guild had information on him. I emailed them requesting a cemetery look up. Thinking since I can't find Village cemetery, they might be able to tell me where his really at. The next morning I had an email back with 2 attachments. One with the correct cemetery and a copy of the Illinois Civil War Muster Detail on him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, besides receiving email that contained his date of death and final resting place, I also received in the US mail copies of the following</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Ottawa Ave Cemetery listing with transcribed notes, (headstone almost unreadable)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Physicians Certificate of Death, basically a death certificate, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3) photocopies of his name in the Register of Deaths which consists of 4 pages page 1 & 2 are the top pages of the book showing the headings, pages 3 & 4 are lines 33-39 with Phineas listed on line 34</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4) Funeral Record which shows payment of $36.00 for services and metal coffin. Looks like he died alone though, as there is no family listed in the funeral record.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, I went from no information to almost too much to process in less than 3 days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Phineas R Wilkinson, b. 1823 Waterford, Lowden Co. VA </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> m. Mary Slaughter Mar 20, 1845</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> d. Jan 28 1878 of dropsy and chronic diarrhea contracted in the army condition lasting </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> 16 years (the reason he was discharged from the army)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I noticed as I was thumbing through all this new documentation for Phineas that I'm still not sure if he is buried in the Ottawa Ave Cemetery. The image to the right is from whoever issues military stones. It lists it as Village Cemetery. The transcripts list the cemetery as Ottawa Avenue Cemetery and the Physician's certificate of death lists the cemetery as the Protestant cemetery. </span>Jan Jones Bonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212773411233654623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669043444797910931.post-71891661637694296972012-12-29T11:07:00.000-08:002012-12-29T11:07:36.055-08:00Changing things up - My Christmas present to myself.<br />
I discovered that my 3rd G. grandfather from my mother's side of the family was written up in a newspaper:<br />
<br />
DES MOINES DAILY NEWS<br />
<br />

Today, a very nice lady helped me break through the travel brick wall. While we haven't found Thomas, we did find his family:<br />
<br />

</ul>
One of the most wonder things about this find is that I didn't have Agnes included in the family. Due to a spelling error, she was an unattached person. Once I fixed the spelling, and her birth date that I had wrong, things lined up wonderfully. I had not really seen the name Louisa used for Jimimah/Jemimah<br />
before, but in looking for Agnes, I came across it as her middle name. So, 3 beautiful early Christmas presents for me today.<br />
<br />
I want to thank Maria again for all her help.Jan Jones Bonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212773411233654623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669043444797910931.post-25367713367604448842012-11-28T15:30:00.000-08:002012-11-28T15:30:03.807-08:00Wordless Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm guilty... The great con jobI just read a very good article on bad data in genealogy web sites at: <a href="http://www.many-roads.com/2010/02/20/are-you-serious/">http://www.many-roads.com/2010/02/20/are-you-serious/</a> I too fell victim to bad data years ago. I was the one who posted it. I purchased FTM (Family Tree Maker) way back when and along with my fellow researcher, my mother-in-law, we set about building our family trees from the data we had. The internet was still new, and FTM was just beginning to push their World Family Tree. The advertisements all stated how using their service to publish our trees to the internet would help other people find us and help "grow our family trees". So both of us did this. <br />
<br />
About a year later, the next generation of the software came out, and my Mother-in-law bought it, it had the first World Family Tree included in it. We were very excited! We got on and started searching, finding our own data and of course, as it was now, no other information.<br />
<br />
Years pass, I went to get onto my FTM site where now and again, I had added new updates and pictures, made a few corrections, and one day, discovered I could no longer access my "free" web tree. I had to purchase access. Unfortunately, I did not have the $$ to do this, so said to heck with it. <br />
<br />
Last year, a distant relative contacted me about bad data in my tree at Ancestry.com. So I'm one of the ones to blame for bad data bases. I'm not about to pay for something that was touted to be free when I first did the work, and now is selling my "free" tree. I honestly didn't mind when they were cutting it to CD and bundling it with the software, until that became too expensive and I went to one for free on the internet (which I like even better). But the great con job became "do this for free" and then the lock me out of it, wanting money to get back in, AND selling what I thought was going to be free access to all, not just paid members.<br />
<br />
In one way, I should apologize for the bad data, and in another way, too damn bad you got it, I have no way to fix it without spending my gas money every month to pay for an account.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The vicious frontal
attacks continued, this time concentrating on the exposed right flank of
the lead formation. Retchin's plane from the 323rd, flying "Tail
End Charlie" in the second element had already been hit and dropped out of
formation before the bomb drop. Now the fighters poured into the gap
behind the second element, concentrating on the six planes in the middle
of the pattern. The 324th, leading B Flight, took the brunt of the
attack. "Marie Jane," leading the Flight was hit and went down
with its entire crew. Two planes behind, Koll's "Desperate
Journey," leading the second element was hit and going down, too.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">21 May 1943 - Today
the 91st Group was dispatched on one of its less fortunate missions. The
field order last night called for maximum effort of 21 aircraft for an attack
on the U-boat and shipbuilding installations at Wilhelmshaven. At the same
time another field order directed that the 4th Bombardment Wing attack the
German port at Emden. The missions were to be coordinated so that the
attacks came at the same time. The combat crews of the 91st Group were
awakened at approximately 0230 hours and after a hot breakfast, briefing for
the Wilhelmshaven mission began shortly after 0300 hours. The 94th Group
was not scheduled to take off until after the 91st had gotten into
formation. This enabled the combat crews of the 94th to get an additional
half hour of sleep. Twenty-one aircraft of the 91st Group began to take
off from Bassingbourn shortly after 0830 hours and after some slight difficulty
got into formation above the clouds which dominated the skies over this part of
England. As soon as the sound of their engines faded away, the aircraft of
the 94th Group followed, to make rendezvous with their other two squadrons.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sixty years ago today,
2nd Lieutenant Roscoe V. Black, Jr. was awakened along with several hundred
other men of the 91st Heavy Bombardment Group at 2:30 AM British Double
Summer Time for his fourth combat mission. At the briefing shortly
after 3 AM the men were told that this would be a
"maximum effort" mission to the shipbuilding yards at
Wilhelmshaven, Germany.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">These shipyards were of
vital strategic importance, and previous attempts to disable them had been
unsuccessful. Today every available plane and crew of the 1st Bombardment
Wing would attack the German port city. The 91st would lead the
mission. Bombers of the 4th Wing would mount a second attack on Emden. Takeoff
was at 10 o'clock and opposition was expected to be heavy.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When the crews headed
for the dispersal areas after breakfast to ready their planes, the weather
was marginal with low clouds throughout the area. The 91st would be
joined on the mission by the two squadrons of the new 94th Group who were
temporarily housed at Bassingbourn while their base was
being completed. The 94th would take off after the 91st had formed up
and would follow them to the target.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The weather enroute was
even worse than over England. By the middle of the North Sea, the
formation was flying over a cloud cover that varied from 80 to 100
percent. But as they approached the German coast from the
northwest, the clouds broke. Under the clouds, though, was a heavy
ground haze compounded by a thick smoke screen put up by the enemy in
anticipation of the raid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As the bombers
approached the target area, they noticed a large formation of German
fighters standing slightly off the front of the formation. When
the B-17s turned into the bomb run, the fighters jumped on
them. Between 100 and 150 single- and twin-engine fighters began
relentless frontal attacks on the 91st in larger-than-normal groups of up
to twelve aircraft at a time. Rather than breaking off their attacks and
reforming for another assault, the Germans dove daringly through the
bomber formation while other fighters attacked from the flanks and below from
the rear in a desperate attempt to disrupt and scatter the bombers so the
assault on the target would be ineffective. It was one of the most
aggressive attacks the 91st had ever seen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Several of the 91st's
lead group was shot up, including the lead plane piloted by Captain Clancy
with the new CO Colonel Reid onboard as copilot. It took a cannon shot in
the nose compartment, disabling its navigation and bombing gear as well as
knocking out the oxygen system, causing it to jettison its bomb load and
descend to low altitude so its crew could breathe. The Group began
reforming on the deputy lead, but the brief time it had loosened up
allowed the determined German fighters to break through and attack inside
as well as from the perimeter. But the formation pulled together and
pushed on to the aiming point to deliver their bombs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As the target was
approached, the fighters pulled back so as not to be hit by their own
intense antiaircraft fire from the ground, but not before more fighters
flying high above them unloosed a barrage of aerial bombs that, while not
having the intended effect of blowing the planes out of the air, nonetheless
caused considerable concern. The Group dropped its bombs relatively
effectively, considering the circumstances, causing a great deal of damage
to the port area and the support facilities nearby. But the German fighters
were not yet through with the 91st.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The vicious frontal
attacks continued, this time concentrating on the exposed right flank of
the lead formation. Retchin's plane from the 323rd, flying "Tail
End Charlie" in the second element had already been hit and dropped out of
formation before the bomb drop. Now the fighters poured into the gap
behind the second element, concentrating on the six planes in the middle
of the pattern. The 324th, leading B Flight, took the brunt of the
attack. "Marie Jane," leading the Flight was hit and went down
with its entire crew. Two planes behind, Koll's "Desperate
Journey," leading the second element was hit and going down, too</span>.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Off his right wing, Jack
Miller and Ross Black in 857 were jumped by six FW-190s that raked their
left side with machine gun and cannon fire. Fire broke out in the No.
1 and 2 engines on the left and threatened to engulf the entire wing. When
Jack hit the alarm bell signaling the crew to bail out, Tail Gunner Newell
Lane went out his back escape door. Bombardier David Snow made
it out the bottom nose hatch and Ball Turret Gunner
"Shorty" Trahan either made it out of the turret and through the
crew door or, more likely (if he had his 'chute in the ball with him),
dropped straight out of the escape hatch in his turret. While Miller kept
the plane as steady as he could, the other men moved to their assigned
bailout spots. Navigator John Ragsdale may have been working his way
toward the bomb bay to avoid the raging fire that threatened to melt the
left wing off. Oscar Stuart probably sent out a distress signal from
his radio room before heading for the bomb bay to jump. The waist
gunners, Ron Taylor and Curtiss Pope, struggled toward the crew door on the
right side of the tail as the plane began losing altitude quickly. Bill
Spofford, the Flight Engineer and Top Turret Gunner, kept his parachute
stowed behind Lt. Black's copilot seat. As he came down from the turret
for his 'chute, Black was standing by the seat, ready to head for the bomb
bay just ahead of Miller as soon as Jack was ready to let the ship
go. Black stopped to help Spofford get his 'chute on and Spofford
went through the door to the bomb bay and out of the plane.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Seconds earlier, Dave
Snow's 'chute had deployed and he looked up at the burning wreck he had
just abandoned. As he saw Spofford fall from the bomb bay and open
his parachute, 857 exploded in a ball of flame, trapping the other six crewmen
inside. It plunged to the ground just outside the German town of
Jevers, where it remained until the end of the war; a twisted
wreck entombing what little was left of the six men who rode it down.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The results of the
bombing by the 91st Group were relatively good when one considers the
circumstances. The Germans did everything possible to prevent our
formation from completing its bombing run. Yet, In spite of this
situation, practically all of the bombs of the 91st Group landed within 3,000
feet of the aiming point and a bomb pattern of one of our squadrons appears to
have straddled the aiming point itself. Many of our bombs were wide of the
target because of the difficulty our pilots experienced in maintaining their
place in formation and flying a straight and level course at the same
time. Practically all of those bombs which did not land in the target area
proper were seen to explode in various parts of the city of Wilhelmshaven.Those
bombs which did not contribute to the obliteration of the target were not
wasted, as practically none of our bombs were seen to explode beyond the limits
of the city. The 91st Group was officially credited with having shot down
more enemy aircraft than any other group participating in this
assault. Our air gunners received credit for 17 enemy aircraft destroyed,
one probably destroyed and nine damaged. To have bombed accurately under
these conditions is itself a tribute to the morale and efficient training of
our organization.</span></span><br />

This image shows where each of the crew members positions are in the plane. Often times there was only one waist gunner who worked out of both sides, often, the radio operator would help out. There really was not much space in these planes. There are tales that the casings from the machine guns would get 2 to 3 feet thick at the gunners feet (imagine being in the tail) and they would have to step around and through them to man the guns efficiently. <br />
<br />
I've yet to find a picture of the plane that my great uncle was in when he died. I guess, in the long run it is just not that important.<br />
<br />
The biggest problem I had with researching the B17's of the 91st BG, 324th BS what that Memphis Belle kept getting in the way.<br />
<br />
You all know the story of the Memphis Belle, the "first" B17 to complete 25 missions. That story isn't really true. The first was the Marie Jane, however, the "flacks" who were creating a B17 documentary didn't like the name. You can read more about the Memphis Belle and the 1944 documentary at:<br />

Lets go flying!In honor of Veterans Day, Monday Nov. 11, I'm going to switch from my father's side of the family and head toward my mother's side. I'm coming forward in time also to WWII and the battles of the B17's stationed in Great Brittan. <br />
<br />
Since January 2012, I've been working on a document called "Willard O. Simpson and the 41-24515". I'll give a mostly brief outline of Great Uncle Willard and The Jersey Bounce/Marie Jane<br />

Willard O. Simpson was born 3 June, 1918, in Des Moines, Polk Co. Iowa to Ole C. and Carrie M. Simpson. He would have been 25 years of age in less than a month, when his plane went down over the Black Sea. He was a Staff Sergeant serving with the 91st Bomb Group Heavy, 324th Bomb Squadron served in the Army Air Force on the B17F Flying Fortress. <br />
<br />
From the research I have been able to do, Willard spent his much of his service time with the 91st Bomb Group Heavy, 324th Bomb Squadron. He was assigned to 41-24515 prior to its arrival in England in September 1942. <br />

Willard was a careful man. He told his mother that he was training to be a clerk, and sent the above picture from his basic training.<br />
<br />
In reality, he was training as a waist gunner on a B17. The crew he was assigned with, met the plane, pilot, co-pilot and navigator when they were sent to train in the Walla Walla Washington area after they came out of basic.I found the following on Wikipedia about his bomb squadron:<br />
<br />

“Training history and movement overseas <br />
<br />
Established 28 January 1942, and activated on 14 April 1942 at Harding A.A.B., Louisiana, the 91st Bomb Group consisted of a small administrative cadre without subordinate units until 13 May 1942, when it was moved to MacDill A.A.B., Florida. There Lt. Col. Stanley T. Wray took command of the group, and the four flying squadrons assigned to the group were activated. The 91st received air crews and began phase one training with just three B-17's available. On 26 June 1942, the group (now consisting of 83 officers and 78 enlisted men) was transferred to the Second Air Force and moved to Walla Walla A.A.B., Washington to complete phase two training, with two squadrons operating from satellite fields at Pendleton and Baker Army Air Bases, Oregon. <br />
<br />
The 91st received orders to deploy overseas and on 24 August 1942, the ground echelon entrained for Fort Dix, New Jersey, where it remained until 5 September, embarking on the RMS Queen Mary. Arriving at Greenock, Scotland, on 11, September, the ground echelon moved by train to Kimbolton, a war expansion airfield in the English Midlands. <br />
<br />
Part of the air echelon moved on 24 August 1942, to Gowan A.A.B., Idaho, where it received six new B-17F aircraft. From there it flew by pairs, making frequent stops, to Dow A.A.B., Maine. The remainder of the air crews relocated to Dow by train, arriving 1 September. Between 4 and 24 September the group flew training missions while it received 29 additional B-17's from air depots in Middletown, Pennsylvania; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Denver, Colorado, and conducted phase three training. <br />
<br />
The 91st Bomb Group moved by squadrons to the United Kingdom, beginning with the 324th Bomb Squadron on 25 September, flying to Gander, Newfoundland. The 324th made a non-stop flight along the North Ferry Route on 30 September, landing at Prestwick, Scotland. The 322d Bomb Squadron moved to Gander on 30, September, and Prestwick on 1 October, followed by one day by the 401st Bomb Squadron. The group lost one of its 35 bombers during transit when a 401st B-17 crashed in fog into a hillside near Cushendall, Northern Ireland, killing 8 of the crew and a flight surgeon. The 324th Bomb Squadron flew as a unit from Prestwick to Kimbolton on 1 October, followed by the 322nd on 2 October and the 401st on 6 October. On 10 October, the remaining squadron, the 323rd, flew to Gander from Dow. It did not reach Prestwick until 14 October, by which time the 91st had changed bases.”<br />

<![endif]-->Introduction to B17 F DF-H - 41-24515 <br />
<br />
<b>B17 DF-H 41-24515</b> was the designated number for the plane that Willard was in when it went down. It has an interesting history. The nicknames it went under are Jersey Bounce, and Marie Jane. Now and then, the name Mary Jane crops up but it seems to be only in documentation that comes out of the Netherlands. I believe it is just a language difference in recording data, and people who copy that information. No official link through AAF documents show Mary Jane as a nickname. <br />

Charles Costenson (born Dec. 14, 1846) <br />
He married Hedda/Hada/Hilda/Hattie nee Noyd nee Johnsen/Johnson (born Dec 2, 1842). .<br />
<br />
They had the following children (pictured on last post)<br />
Walter<br />
Frank<br />
Emil<br />
Fred<br />
Edd<br />
Emma<br />
Ida <br />
<br />
More on the kids later... <br />
<br />
Both Charles & Hedda were born in Sweden. She had been married before and had son Walter G. Johnson with Albert Johnson. I don't know yet if the 2 "Walter" sons are the same or different. I don't know if I have a picture of Hedda. She may be one of the unknowns listed in a prior blog post.<br />

My great-grandmother Emma Mathilda Costenson and her husband Lewis Peterson will be the next topic.<br />

A lot of tweets have been happening about preserving photos and having family photo identification parties. Got me to thinking about the unknowns that I have scanned in the past. I think a posting of these unknowns for my family to look at might help.<br />
<br />
My grandfather Arvon Jones was a great photographer. He had his own developing setup and did a lot of darkroom work. Most of the photos I have from my Jones family are his works, done between 1930 and his death in 1955. Most are unlabeled, like these two.<br />
<br />
I believe these are from the Costenson side, but they could be Jones' or Bell's<br />

These two gentlemen were in a group rubber banded together with a note that said they were Peterson's (my Grandmother Esther Jones family. However, other people had been through grandma's box of photos and I am not sure who they are.<br />

(giggle... Grandma Jones said he was a drunk and talked like she had to live with him, even though she came into the family 13 years after he died.)Jan Jones Bonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212773411233654623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669043444797910931.post-80307272167452283862012-10-27T09:54:00.000-07:002012-10-27T09:54:42.159-07:00Diary MussingsThere is something warm about holding this little book just knowing that 4 generations of Jones' have held and read it gives me a feeling of connection to 3 generations that have passed on. This book measures about 4x6, so not very large. I know without a doubt, that without this little book, I could have never found the family in Wales. The family "genealogy" portion, as you can see was only 10 scant pages. There are several pages of home remedies which could be interesting, but they are written in Welsh, so I can't read them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, what did I learn in those 10 scant pages that I hadn't know when I started researching? A great deal. T.J. (as Thomas <b>John</b> Jones was know in his later years), grew up in Wales in the Pontypridd and Treforest area of Glamorgan. His grandfather was Thomas <b>John</b> who married Mary Thomas who had his father David <b>John</b>, who married Margret Jenkins and provided TJ with siblings Maria, Samuel, David and Hannah, along with their spouses and birth and death dates.<br />
<br />
T.J. Jones arrived in America March 4th 1883 with his wife Jimimah and children. His siblings seem to all already be living here under the name of Jones. The vast majority of the family took the middle name of <b>John</b> (even the women) and appended the Jones surname.<br />
<br />
TJ lived for a few years in Bevington, Iowa, being a farmer, carpenter and a Phrenologist (one who studies the bumps and measurements of a patient's skull). Jimimah passed away June 24th 1893. He married Maribe Steele Bell sometime between 1893 and 1897 when their son Arvon was born. They relocated to Des Moines, Iowa and T.J. went back to school, receiving <br />
<br />
TJ & Jimimah had 5 children together<br />
Meribe & Thomas Bell had 8 children together<br />
TJ & Meribe had 1 child.<br />
<br />
So, this is how my father came from an only child but still had lots of Aunts & Uncles. And, without the help of TJ's little brown book, I came to know my Jones side a little bit better.Jan Jones Bonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01212773411233654623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669043444797910931.post-45660775416381829712012-10-23T20:37:00.000-07:002012-10-23T20:37:57.224-07:00Diary Pages 10 & 11<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
