During this time, Thomas and Sage remained devoted to the L.D.S. Church and worked diligently in any capacity they could in connection with it. The fall after Kumen was horn they, with other church memhers, made a trip to Salt Lake City to attend L.D.S. Conference. Sage's two sisters, Jane and Sarah, and her brother, William, lived in Salt Lake City and they were anxious to see their relatives once again. This was a good opportunity to make the trip. The group camped near Fillmore, after journeying several days. and turned the oxen loose to graze. The next morning Thomas went out early to hitch u p the oxen to the wagon. Alma, who was a shadow to his dad, followed along to help catch the oxen. He, being only a child of four, came too near to one of the oxen and was kicked in the stomach while his father was husy getting them harnessed. At first, Sage and Thomas thought the injury was not serious, but realized soon that it was much worse than they judged. T h e child soon died and it was necessary to bury him there in the k'illmorc cemctar?. They were grief stricken at the loss of their eldest child and certainly did not feel like continuing the trip, hut hecause the Indians were still trouhlesorne, were obliged to stay with their company and journey on to Salt Lake City." The Jones family, comprised now of only four nicrnbers instead of five, were heartbroken a t their loss but determined to look ahead and continue their efforts in Cedar City. They acquired a good piece of farm land and Thomas had optimistic hopes for the iron works to which he had devotcd practically all of his time.
