Caroline Arthur Jones horn Jan. 16, 1890. Effie Arthur Jones born Feb. 24, 1892. Jared Franklin Jones horn August 16, 18I)4.? Lehi's mother, Sage Treharne Jones, died in 1897. She was a public spirited woman. She worked in the Relief Society for a number of years as a counselor and was also president. At the time of her death on Mar. 30, she was counselor of the Relief Society in the Parowan Stake.3 Pearl Higbee Lence, daughter of Sarah Ann, Lehi's only sister, wrote the following about her grandmother, Sage Jones: "She lived to see all her children take active parts in the L.D.S. Church and civic affairs, which repaid her at least in part for all her sarrifices. Grandmother Jones' influence with her children was always great even after their marriage, and there was a bond among the grown boys and their sister that was very touching. Her marvelous influence was felt not only in her own family, but there seemed a oneness with the large group of grandchildren who were soon grouped around her. As a child, I remember, with a grrat deal of plcasurc, the family gatherings we always had on her hirthday and other special occasions. Every time she went to Salt Lake to conference, she allowed a grandchild or two to accompany her, and always came home loaded down with fine gifts for all the relatives. Whole holts of good woolen cloth were purchased, and it was not uncommon to see a half-dozen little cousins with dresses alike. She insisted on having the best of materials, but liked to have the dresses made very plain. My mother, who was grandma Jones's only daughter, died when I was seven years old, so I went to live with Grandma Jones. -4s I think hack, I remember her as a very dignified, qenteel woman, who was respected and loved wherever she went, but I also remember that she insisted that I wear only plain black sateen dresses, and have my hair combed very straight so that I would not grow to he vain. I t was when living with Grandma Jones in my Uncle Uriah's household, that I fimt had the joy of a wholesome, happy home life. Surrounded by interesting church authorities who always stayed there during conference, or by educational lcaders who paid our little town a visit, the fascinating conversation which these interesting leaders from Northern Utah always engaged in a l l made an indelible impression on my rhildish mind. .As I look hark now (1941 ), I think it must have seemed just as wonderful to my yrandmother who had had such a hard life and so few opportullities for education."' Uriah \milt onto the family home and lived there with his family for a while and Grandma Jones lived with them the remainder of her life.
