I've "rescued" an old photograph of the JEWELL Children including, Ray,
Ethel, and Albert JEWELL which was taken at the S. Mortensen Studio in Iron
Mountain, MI. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with
the three appearing to be from infant to 5 years old at the time the
photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the
following information regarding the family:
Ray Cundy JEWELL was b. 21 Jul 1892 in Ishpeming, MI and married Hazel Lulu
Elizabeth HOUSTON (1893-1979) and together they had 3 children. Ray died 22
Mar 1974 in Pontiac or Washington, MI and is buried in the Ottawa Park
Cemetery in Clarkston, MI. Ray's obit lists his wife as Alice JEWELL? His
children are noted as Dr. Robert JEWELL of Sault Ste. Marie; Marilyn
CAMPBELL of Denver, CO; and Leon JEWELL of Roseville
Ethel Mae JEWELL was b. 13 Dec 1898 in Iron Mountain, MI to parents Albert
JEWELL ( 1868-1897) and Mary "Mae" Elizabeth Geach CUNDY (b. 1873 in
Champion, MI-1950 - the daughter of Thomas CUNDY and Emma HILL). In
addition to siblings Ray C.; and Albert; she also had two half- brothers,
Abraham Thomas GUY (1900-1985) and Wilfred GUY (1903-1970)who were born to
her Mother Mae and step-father William GUY (b. in Cornwall, England) who
married Mae after the death of her first husband. Their wedding took place
in Hermansville, MI on 6 Jan 1900. Ethel married Stanley T. WALES
(1894-1968) and together they had 4 children including, June B.; Gilbert L.;
Ralph Albert; and Alta E. WALES, all born between 1918 and 1924.
Her daughter June married into the WEEKS Family and her daughter Alta E.
married into the QUAYLE Family. Ethel died 11 Jan 1978 in Crystal Falls, MI
and is buried in the Stambaugh Cemetery in Iron River, MI.
Albert JEWELL was b. 27 Aug 1897 and married Mary Ann JOHNSON (1898-1977)
and together they had 5 children including, two sons, Floyd A.; and Glen
Emil JEWELL born between 1923 and 1928. Albert died in Dec 1963 and is
buried in the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery in Crystal Falls, MI.
