-------------------------
Searching info re: Jones family of Churchill Co., Fallon NV area. Lived
on the Jones & Jewell Ranch south of town for over 100 years. The family
grew due to the marriage of Philip Jones to Mable R Jones. They were married
for 25 years and divorced. Reggie moved to Reno then to Portland Oregon
where she remains to this day. Philip re-married a women named Edith Padgent
Bismark that also worked at the Post Office along side of Reggie Jones.
Philip died in Nov. 1991-2 without a registered will and the homestead
went to
Edith Jones who eventually sold the property. Edith died in 1997 due to
complications of diabetis. Philip is the father of Diana Jones and he also
addopted James and Kirt, the two youngest sons of Edith. The ranch is still
there on the Schurz Highway as you head toward Schurz, Tonapha and Vegas.
