Stephen Fuqua Jones

Date and place of photo unknown.

We guess the date to be around 1889 in Kansas City, MO (age 63).

Stephen Jones and Mildred Hickman (granddaughter)

Mildred was born December 14, 1891. We assume her age at 1 year when this photo was taken in late 1892. Stephen would have been 66 years old.

Stephen and Louisa Jones raised Mildred after her mother's death in November 1894 until Louisa's death in 1908.

Born January 6, 1833 in Liberty County, GA
Married November 1849 at age 16
Died June 27, 1908 (75)

Buried in Prairie Grove Cemetery West of Cottonwood Falls, KS

There are no known photos of Louisa. Family member say they do not ever remember seeing one. Newspaper articles state two different portraits were done in the 1880s of Stephen and Louisa Jones and their two daughters. These have not been located.

One may get an idea of her appearance by viewing her mother's photo (Adeline Barber) and the photos of her two daughters.
