For many years the Jones Brothers, Lehi, Uriah T., Jed, and Kumen, worked together on many projects and business ventures and they (.ontributed a great deal to the development of C:edar City and the State of Utah. 'They were also very concerned that each of their children had the means of making a ~ o o d living and were conscientious fathers, devoted to their families. The death of Uriah T., Fell. 13, 1929, andJed, Jan. 6, 1931, was a great loss to everyone. In 1512 1, Kumen had the following to say ahout his hrother, lTriah: "L'riah began working in the old Cedar Co-op with Henry Leigh as a chaperon. He did not enjoy good health during his infancy; had little, if any, schooling, but because of his own efforts, he did not suffer nor experience much inconvenience on that account. Uriah T. Jones filled many important places in the church, also in civil positions and with i~usiness concerns in Cedar City, and in Parowan Srakc. H e was a Representative from Iron Count!- to the Legistature, both in the lower house and the Senate."" One time in L.D.S. conference, when the sustainins of the officers was taking place, Uriah's name as President of the Stake was read, "All those who can sustain Uriah Jones make it manifest by raising the right hand - all those who oppose by the same sign." ;\ndrew Corry, the tallest man in town 'rose to all his six feet plus and raked his hand in opposition. This was something different. When he was asked why he opposed, he simply said, "To damn many Joneses," and sat down." Uriah was president of the Bank of Southern Utah from the time it was organized in 1904 until the time of his death.'' At that time, Lehi continued in that capacity. I!riah Treharne Jones and Mary Alice Higbee Jones, his wife, were parents of seven children, they are as follows: Abish, horn Sept. 1 1884; Alma Treharne, born January 23, 1887; Irene, born July 22 1889: Mary hlalicent, born April 13, 1891 and died Dec. 20,1897; U. Ashton, born Feh. 25, 18'33; Zelma, horn Feb 5 , 1895; Emron Highee Jones, horn July 16, 1898. Kumen wrote in his journal that this couple had an ideal family with an ideal head to it. At the passing of Uriah T. Jones, all his kinfolk had occasion to feel humbly grateful to have President Heber J. Grant, President of our church, George H. Dern, Governor of the State of Utah, and other notable visitors from Salt Lake City attend the services held in his honor.'' Thomas Jedediah Jones and Ellen Eva Lunt Jones were the parents of ten rhildren. they are as follows: Liunoni Lunt Jones, horn Feb. 16, 1871,: Randall Lunt Jones, born March 5. 1881 ; Sage Lunt Jones, horn July 1, 1883; Mary Ann Jones, born June 12, 1887; Eva Cora Lunt Jones, horn March 30, 1890; Urania Maude Jones, born May 7, 1892; Jedediah Lunt Jones, born Aug. 5, 1894; Henry Marvin Jones, born 214
