Herald of the Morning, April 1881

Criss G.

 Way back in the day, 2008 I think, you sent me a copy of a past-in that A.D. Jones stuck inside the copies of Millennial Dawn he sold through the Day Star. Will you please resend it.

Albert and Carrie Jones

 New Jersey birth records tell us that the Jones had a still born daughter. Date of birth is June 5, 1884. Do we know more? 

Their divorce record tells us they had three living children in 1889. I only know the name of one, Ella L. Can we find the names of the other two?

Carrie's full name, according to New York records is: Caroline Maria Bown
